Swift and decisive you can be sure that will be the Day of The Lord,
Just and complete will be the Lord with the destruction of His Sword.
For two millennia by scores of men The Lord Jesus has been ignored,
All who opposed The Lord will be consumed when His Wrath is poured.

Bold and arrogant fools they are, as they say there's no God at all,
But to hide from His face they shall ask the rocks to on them fall,
Living defiantly independent they went through life proud and tall,
But when they see God they'll know that they're actually very small.

They loved man's wisdom choosing science or philosophy as their god,
Not only will they meet my God, but they'll be punished by His Rod.
Facing damnation they will look back every where their feet had trod,
They'll know now Christ is Lord, confessing with sorrow as they nod.

Christ will validate in everyone's mind the very reason He was sent,
This will include for all to see, His long awaited Day of Judgment.
And with His bowl of wrath well filled Jesus will not at all relent,
And His Judgment will continue until His Righteous Wrath is spent.

But those who put their trust in Christ are not under condemnation,
For those waiting He comes again to offer them His Great Salvation.
And though the world will be destroyed during the Great Tribulation,
There will be multitudes saved out of every tongue, tribe and nation.

I read this, and felt a mix of emotions. One was, after writing mine about the Lake of Fire...I don't want people to feel condemnation, but this poem, like mine, also tells that God tries and tries to bring us to himself. So the mix is I don't want to make people feel condemned, but at the same time I love the promise that's there if we just choose. A promise that just ends up bringing life so much better in the long run if you stay faithful. So I loved this even though I don't like the condemned part, but it's just a part of the way it is. It's just facts, and I know it. Thanks for sharing Bob!!

(sad sigh) Though I too wish that He doesn't have to condemn anyone and that there can be another way to save all our souls, I too believe it may have to be done when He continues to sit above, lonely with his divided children quarreling and hurting! (big hugggssssss) The day of redemption shall come, sweet friend, then we will all be free, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bob, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
