The Lamb Opens the Future: Scrolls and Seals, Revelation

Standard

The Lamb gets things going, we are talking about Jesus OF COURSE, 

beginning of the end, from Revelation trumpeting angels to riders on each HORSE.

.

Jesus present from the beginning of TIME,

will also help start the earth and heavens UNWIND. 

.

Seals to be open, scrolls to be READ,

angels and trumpets resounding, and bowls poured with DREAD.

.

God does not want anyone to perish, but live INSTEAD, 

we know that now and will witness this surely AHEAD.

.

Revelation scriptures note sections of time we might fear and DREAD, 

because it means God is going to judge the LIVING and the DEAD. 

.

Don’t follow evil or worship anything else behind or AHEAD, 

Read up and know JESUS SAVES all who choose Him INSTEAD.

.

THE LAMB SURELY HAS CONQUERED,

OUR FUTURE HE ALREADY SECURED.

.

Amen to PRAISES,

Jesus is our Lord and Savior who RAISES.

.

AMEN


Revelation 6 – New King James Version

First Seal: The Conqueror

Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

Second Seal: Conflict on Earth

When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

Third Seal: Scarcity on Earth

When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”

Fourth Seal: Widespread Death on Earth

When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

Fifth Seal: The Cry of the Martyrs

When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances

I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

Revelation 8

Seventh Seal: Prelude to the Seven Trumpets

When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.

Someday Soon: See the Light

Standard

A poem to wrap up the week where we finally had rain, the thankfulness season is upon us, the winter comes and short days, yet there are areas which get no daylight at all so we should be THANKFUL for we still have so much! And someday soon God will be our LIGHT – there will be no darkness at all…

A poem first and after that is a song I heard just this week: Someday Soon by Crosby Stills Nash and Young, last album Looking Forward…

Have a blessed day and weekend everyone!!!

See the Light

Help us Lord, hold us tight.

Not freeze our efforts from earthly pain or plight, 

But help us to continue, to fight the good fight.

Help us Lord, to SEE YOUR LIGHT. 

 .

Darkness need not be at night.

Darkness is the lack of seeing Your Insight.

LIGHT is surely a GLOW to KNOW, YOU’RE SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE FUTURE, RIGHT.

Help us Lord, to SEE YOUR LIGHT. 

AMEN 

Song : Someday Soon 

CSN&Y version:

Lyrics

Someday soon

You will see by the light of day

That someday soon

All your worries will fade away

.

Keep holding on

To the love that has made you strong

And someday soon

Heartache will all be gone

.

Someday soon

I hope good things come to you

And someday soon

Hope your wishes all come true

.

Keep holding on

To the love that has brought you here

And someday soon

Darkness will disappear

.

When life’s too hard to bear for you to take it

Have faith in what you do

You’ve got to tell yourself that you can make it through

.

Someday soon

You will get to be your best

And someday soon

You will finaly get some rest

.

Keep holding on

To the love that came your way

And someday soon

Shadows will fall away

God’s Dream-Correcting Team

Standard

When you wake up from a dream, weird wacky or scary dream,

Remember that at night you’re being taken care of by God’s Dream-Correcting Team.

.

When the weirdness of dreams all blows away like dust, 

Remember that IN GOD WE TRUST 

For the themes and things that dreams work on, minor stuff can now blow away like fluff.

And the major thought things are best handled by God – God reminds: “I AM ENOUGH!”

.

GOD TAKES CARE OF IT ALL, There is no thought to tough, 

God says “I know the hard stuff.”

.

And if our thoughts are trouble for all, let’s redirect them to be captives of Christ, remembering scripture by Paul.

Take to Jesus because of God’s Power, Jesus is WILLFULLY forgiving us, forgiving all.

Just give Jesus a call. 

.

His Love and His Grace covers all.

.

Amen 

.

Paul wrote to the Corinthians 2nd, 10:3-5

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.  The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

Going and Coming

Standard

It’s Fall Y’all… Saturday was a beautiful break in the Poconos… So blessed from sunrise to sunset… and then some.. 

A long weekend, so needed for me as a getaway to not be coming and going hectic. It’s going (meaning leaving work stress) and coming (meaning being in a different mode, different time uncrunch, different stuff) and relaxing with friends and having a s’more too… 

What puts perfect in the unperfect is the appreciation of blessings over stressings. We need, in life, the unwind to work out kinks in our systems and respool later. If we don’t unwind, we won’t know where and what our emotions and brains and dreams relax into. 

When I look at a feather (turkey?) it’s so intriguingly intricately beautiful. The strands of a feather work in concert, yet so fragile to be glued together. And then each feather has it’s own quill support, best God invention is that many are together for flying. How amazing. Each strand comes together, like each rock or drop of the waterfalls, like each stroke of paint, like each reflection of molecules making a sunrise or sunset, like each person in this world of ours which God blessed and blesses us with.

Imagine the beauty in one day, in the unwind. Then imagine the beauty of heaven divine… That’s going to be unfathomably beautiful… 

His perspective is not just in the strands of a feather or sunset together, but very good from the children He loves together with Him.

God’s smores and more will be our delight. His delight? Us…

We are going and coming to Him.

Amen 

Scatterbrained

Standard

A poem from a position – I am in a mode of being scatterbrained. 

Scatterbrained

I realized my problem, especially these past few weeks, I’m feeling totally SCATTERBRAINED!!!

Partially particularly feeling drained, 

But partially ALSO being ENERGIZED by random thoughts in my brain’s new terrain.

.

My “to-do” thoughts are MANY, feeling broken up yet they SHOULD shine like a rainbow through the rain.

The light once white is clearly colorly fractured, and yet also fogged up from beaming nicely in my scatterbrain.

It’s like I’ve taken many a bend in the tracks of my thinking train.

.

I’m fine though, don’t mistake me, I’m fine even as I complain.

I know how to retrieve what’s missing in my scatter brain. 

I have to remind myself to find that focused narrow lane.

.

It’s Jesus I need. JESUS, His Peace I RECLAIM. 

He as WHOLE LIGHT completes any missing colors lost down my mental rainbow’s drain. 

His blood recovers any missteps too, from which I should have known to refrain.

.

Jesus bring me back to less mental pain.

You Lord ARE the Promise to get us out of the rain.

There is nothing for which Jesus’s Forgiveness won’t pertain.

.

My loss is my gain if Jesus Hope I retain. 

Remembering Lord, YOU LEAD, YOU REIGN.

Help me see Your clarity, I request this for my scatterbrain. 

Amen 

—-

Jesus said “to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

Luke 9: 23-25
