This is a poem that is a matephor for life we all have battles and the easyest thing to do is surrender and let jesus win for us

THE BATTLE
By Charles Herring

The battle field was dawn,
Before the dawn of time.
The day is here,
All have arived.

The sacrificed lamb leads the march,
Now it is time,
Two armies stand
One praising God on high,
The other cursing his name.

The trumpets sound,
The field comes alive.
Many are falling all around,
The Christ stride through the grounds.
No one can touch him.
No weapon can harm him.
He leads his saints over the enemy encampents.

Till they are faced by satan himself,
He leaps and delivers the fatal blow.
Jesus the Son of God,
Crumples, like a paper doll.

The saints are aghast,
The demons celebrate,
For on this day victory is theres.

But then a ray of light,
Shines from Jesus.
A voice from heaven proclaims,
He is not deafeted,
He arises and takes his sword,
Casts down the demonic hord,
Never agin can they harm us,
Never agin.

Nearly 2000 years later we're still rejoicing in Christ's victory.  Nice work.

Certainly a vivid portrayal of a battle field. *I ponder for a moment and am shaking my head yes, yes.*  Very well done!!

When you can't make up your mind,
Which way is right for you,
Stop and softly ask yourself,
"What Would Jesus Do?"

An interesting portayal you present of the Battle of the ages- with Jesus & Satan marshalling thier armies--Yes Jesus death may at that moment seemed to be the Devil's triumph-- but by that very death & it's glorious resurrection- The Victory By Christ is assured--Let us be sure we are on the right side- to share in that ultimate victory!   David
