To The Majority Of People On Earth.

When we declared His Holy Word to all the nations,
The majority showed contempt, (1) with irritable frustrations.
And many, while claiming to have faith in His Son?

Showing hatred, making lame excuses,
With harmful gossiping and other abuses; (2)
When questioned, claimed Christ's love in their person?

God rewards spirit rebellion with 'tastes' that sour, (3)
Does not forgive enemies in their so-called 'eleventh hour'. (4)
'It is a fearful thing to stand before the presence of God'. (5)
For the unreconciled, it will certainly be dour.

'Emptiness for the empty', an angel did say, (6)
And is the destiny for a long life lived in an uncreated way. (7)
As for human flesh, it will be of no use at all,
Created servants in His presence will not shamefully cower.

We did 'utter Christ's prophecies over peoples and nations,
Languages and many kings',(8) for new spirit creations.
As Christ commanded we speak: 'Against lofty things
Raised up against the knowledge of God' (9).

Sadly, 'The Opened Little Scroll' is not popular as it should be, (10)
For it contains the last heavenly lights for those awake to 'see'
Their way into the 'marriage' of the Lamb with his 'Bride' class,
To begin a rodlike rule (11) from the heavenly Kingdom of God.

"To him who is victorious, to him who perseveres in doing my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations --the same authority which I received from my Father-- and he shall rule them with an iron rod, smashing them to bits like earthenware; and I will give him also the star of dawn. Hear, you who have ears to hear, what the Spirit says to the churches!" (Rev 2:26-29 NEB).
