About The Saved And The Abandoned.

While rebels appease(1) their miserable existence with despicable
entertainments, with self-destroying excuses of wickedness,
Christ's arrival will spiritually awaken them to the real life, revealing
their emptiness; of spirit hunger and unquenchable thirstiness.(2)

The "good news" of faith ended with Divinely "appointed times"(3)
When Christ's legal separations ended, his flocks complete.
His witnesses have submitted their testimonies(4) against all his wilful
enemies who contemptuously denied the sent paraclete.(5)

Others may yet give glory to God when witnessing fear-inspiring(6)
calamities taking place, which may save them.
The greatest offence against our Life-giver, is the worship of idols:
Of religious harlots, politicians, of sport, music and film, from satan stem.

Having an active knowledge of His Word, with spirit sacrifices
being offered up with praise, pleases the Lord,
Relinquishing bad conduct, replacing it with righteousness,
is a vow to do His Will, a true sacrifice of loving accord.

Prayers, with habitual badness prevailing, are ignored.
Such prayers are not holy sacrifices -- pleasing only satan.
Christ's Word is like a suit we have to fit into -- not changing it
for superfluous natures wherever such natures can.

Immortality, living in the paradise of God, is a surpassing victory,
living forever within His glory, free of pain or fearing one's demise.
Feeling only the constant joys from His unchanging love,
living in a new spirit body, freed from flesh, the prize.

The destiny of abandoned ones is defined in the book of Esdras: (7)
Will wander ceaselessly, without a settled abode,
Ending in torments, where they will learn the truth,
For not repenting, but despising His Holy code.
