A Generation Into Eternity

"A generation is going,
and a generation is coming,

but the earth remains forever."

Forever,
as cycles of winters and springs?

Forever,
as rivers and gentle streams?

Forever,
the stars and glorious moon?

Or

Forever,
the people
with no space
or room?

Forever,
a person with food and a place.

Forever,
living with dignity. Grace.

Forever,
praising
the Creator
of the human race.

Forever,
an opportunity
to chose life and exist
as long as the sun

enjoying

lovely
the songs of the loon.

Forever,
the earth a welcoming home
beautiful

with love soon
to internationally bloom.

Forever and ever.
A chance to partake

since

Death
will no longer
destroy
and consume.

This invite
Our Almighty

did make.

Freedom

Is your 'Freedom'
really 'free'

where 'no strings attached'
can't lasso back past actions

which can/do entangle
one's presently desired
carefree life

to an inability

physically or mentally
to cope

because a slip-knotted
conscienceless
strong
moral-less
rope

strangles all future hope

of healthy
peaceful
familial living?

Is this intelligent
unseen master of your 'liberty'

loving

or dark
relentless in his wicked pursuit

yet, thankless when given servitude?

Can he promise actual eternity?

Or does he invent lies
as he goes

controlling those who know not of a spiritual road leading to a mountain streaming international humbled souls

once beaten or threatened by his angry roaring fearsomely
to manipulate a blind stumbling humanity?

Goals

simply helps one slip through cords squeezing this major hoard into disharmony:

Envision a future in loyal gratitude
to One already providing goodness, graciousness,
kindness to mankind

despite ignorance or belligerent attitudes,

instead of rudeness, wickedness, treachery
confining to promised none existence

forever

not an 'immortality' of speculative mind.

Envision inhabiting this land cleansed of wickedness
supplied with a banquet of succulent plenty,

fruits, wines,
bread and cheeses
of a varied kind

learning to live in perfect harmony
with the universe

one another
brothers and sisters

mastering skills which seem deemed
only to a captivating few

whereas,
this world is composed of a talented
multitude

of a inspired
'many'

with ancient ones returned
or any and all

who survived God's Final War

educated
to spurn badness
love righteousness

infinitely.

This is true 'Freedom'
promised

rejected by the masses
as 'utopia'

fantasy
hopeless

while presenting as truth
a plethora of myths

derived
over time,

yet unproven
yes, baseless.

Freedom or free-will
grants us the ability to choose

now

before an door of prophesied opportunity
is locked

closed forevermore.

Before God's tolerance of ignorance, slander, hatred,
ends labeling it... Too Late

with a key to true knowledge
extracted

as classes already begun

have further entry
blocked.

And outside the 'interior rooms'

an anointed King and his 'just' army rides
to destroy

to eternally eliminate those promoting
ancient crippling

God-less
traditions or lore.

He Was Always

He was always
from creation's beginning
an exact reflection of brilliant light

love
wisdom
supreme might.

He was always a son beloved
under a benevolent gaze beaming
since obedient to parental directions loving
he esteemed His Father as The Ultimate Being.

First born of all. Lover of righteousness.
A spiritual son of myriads to follow.

A heavenly brother
exhibiting a humble disposition

demonstrating no arrogant
belittling criticisms
for siblings

difficult to swallow.

Perfect

as thirst-quenching water
from a glorious crystal stream
when parched after efforts strenuous

imperfect ours deemed.

He was always
polished as a diamond
gleaming brighter insight
even when crushed under pressuring extremes

earnest prayer required to finish his fight.

His life sacrificed
a beauteous gift given
then raised back to this highly glorified position

permitting a threaded connection
with a comforting Father
if sins acknowledged,
then heartfelt in petition
to be mercifully forgiven.

Upon life-giving food spiritual
allow oneself to be fed.

Unlike some disobedient
once spiritual brothers
who abused their free-will
allowing satanic thoughts to corrupt their hearts
by dark desires then led.

Yet, when rebellion heavenly occurred
this first-born Son in loyalty anointed to cleanse
his Father's abode of a disobedient disruptive third.

Now we live during a time of magnificent revealing
though a period of churning upheaval
as a veil to justice

concealing

but shepherded as sheep
or goat herds in future divided
by actions exhibited
after hearing God's word provided

Our choices made
show all
who our inclinations prefer
as ruler, as king.

But only through Jah's First-born
will real peace and security
to our universe
bring!

'Take the Lead'

In brotherly love
have tender affection for one another.
In showing honor to one another,
take the lead."

"Take the lead."
"Take the lead."

If these words stand out
have we not overshot the bull's-eye of Paul's words
in
deed?

"Have tender affection for one another."

Tender as filet mignon easy to...
chew? Not on your brother.

Should we not grease him down
with healing words
kind

as we do with cute kittens,
little puppies?

Even if poor, limping,
blind to advantages others find
to open life's necessities' door
more easily?

If in the lead
can we extend back a hand in speed?

Not keep score
counting paces between you and them
whom we haven't yet learned to adore?

Isn't equality as humans what we should seek for?

Not necessarily of material advantages
of what we speak.

Shoulder-to-shoulder,
not shoving, but loving
showing "honor to one another"?

Is this the way I "take the lead"?

"From Death I Will Recover Them"

Corals, octopuses, sharks
exist beyond our breath to reach

great fish
exclaim in vibrant colors,
vast shapes, His fame:

"O the depth
of God’s riches and wisdom
and knowledge!"

Proclaimed
His name:

"Know that Jehovah is the true God".

"How unsearchable his judgments...,
beyond tracing out his ways are!"

"There is none like you among the gods,
O Jehovah" by far. "There are no works like yours."

Universally we sing your praise.
Yes, you we worship, adore, eternally. Always.

"For who in the skies can compare to Jehovah?
Who among the sons of God is like Jehovah?"

"See now that I—I am he,
And there are no gods apart from me.

I put to death, and I make alive."

Yes, this Job knew
his trials faithfully he did survive:

"O that in the Grave
you would conceal me,"
before he knew if Jah would heal thee.

"That you would hide me
until your anger passes by,"
is how most feel as adversity thrashes.

"That you would set a time limit for me
and remember me!"

As if to say:
'Resurrect me to blissful peace and security
under your Grand Loving Sovereignty.'

This be our prayer
this be our plea
from all obedient mankind for an eternity.

Job provided us faithful proof:
That "The true God is for us a God who saves;
And Jehovah the Sovereign Lord
provides escape from death."

Promised: "From the power of the Grave
I will redeem them;From death I will recover them.

Where are your stings, O Death?
Where is your destructiveness, O Grave?"“Death, where is your victory?
Death, where is your sting?”"

When unified all mankind to ring out in joy
as back to life

Jehovah through Christ

Our loved ones resurrected
yes they will bring!

WORTHY OF LIFE

enslaved to hollows
excavated by trends

emptiness echoes
blackness within

how does one weed out greedy feeds
on ravenous desires sinful?

or out distance pressuring peers who do spin
one's world towards treacherous bends
no longer thrilling but vengeful?

will I skip happily free if traveling alone
straight paths even if sunshine should 'bling' life new
like a convertible chromed ride?

the plight of youth sadly today
as social media friends 'unfriend' or sway to defame
characters in a 'click of a mouse'

victims 'hung' lifeless
dangling in closets while lightening technology
divides family sanely housed,

dysfunction concealed until suicide reveals
what consciences grieving no longer can hide.

is this tragically where many stories eternally will end?
held in palms of cold powerful hands

your life to depend?

worthy of life,
not deserved 'cause of actions perfect

gifted

to be recalled
'righteous' and 'unrighteous'
back to learn

what a Creator desires to teach
all righteous humans

perfection to earn

so do not spurn a book ancient
divine which leads the way to life

enlightening hearts
broadening minds

'broad is the way the road to death'
but narrow and cramped
temporarily

is the way

bereft meek ones 
choose their life to spend

for promised:

"You open your hand
and satisfy the desire
of every living thing."

left remaining on an earth
a just King will thoroughly cleanse
of wicked humanity

Ponder over these things.—1 Tim. 4:15.
Man’s linguistic abilities are a miraculous gift designed by God. (Ps. 139:14; Rev. 4:11) Our God-given brain is unique in another important respect. Unlike animals, humans were created “in God’s image.” They have free will and can choose to use their linguistic skills to glorify God. (Gen. 1:27) To all who desire to honor the Creator of language, God has given a wonderful gift, the Bible. It is available in whole or in part in over 2,800 languages. When you absorb these holy writings, you are filling your mind with the thoughts of God. (Ps. 40:5; 92:5; 139:17) Thus you can enjoy meditating on things that “are able to make you wise for salvation.” (2 Tim. 3:14-17) To meditate means to focus your thoughts and to reflect on or ponder over something, be it good or bad. (Ps. 77:12; Prov. 24:1, 2) The two best subjects for meditation are Jehovah God and his Son, Jesus Christ.—John 17:3. w15 10/15 4:2-4 © 30 minutes ago, Lucretia Mccloud   spiritual poems • hope poems • love poems • nature poems • friendship poems

Just Ahead--A Paradise Earth!

Hello All!

We've heard all the doom. And we feel the pressure, since we do see what man's greed is doing to our wonderful planet. But here's an article regarding the future of our earth that I thought you may enjoy, especially with the repetitive bad news circulating our globe.

You can either read it or listen to it....https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2008562?q=a+real+government&p=par

Enjoy!

Just Ahead—A Paradise Earth!

“Our Father in heaven, may your name be held holy, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.”—Matthew 6:9, 10, The Jerusalem Bible.

THIS famous prayer, known to many as the Our Father or the Lord’s Prayer, holds out hope to mankind. How so?

As the Lord’s Prayer reveals, God’s Kingdom will cause God’s will to be done on earth as surely as it now prevails in heaven. And it is God’s will that Paradise be restored. (Revelation 21:1-5) What exactly is God’s Kingdom, and how will it restore Paradise to the earth?

A Real Government

God’s Kingdom is a real government. For any government to function, it requires rulers, laws, and subjects. Does God’s Kingdom satisfy these requirements? Note the Bible’s answers to the following three questions:

Who are the rulers in God’s Kingdom? (Isaiah 33:22) Jehovah God has appointed his Son, Jesus Christ, to oversee the Kingdom. (Matthew 28:18) Under Jehovah’s direction, Jesus has selected a limited number of individuals from “every tribe and tongue and people and nation” who will rule with him as “kings over the earth.”—Revelation 5:9, 10.

What laws has God’s Kingdom established for its subjects to obey? Some of the laws or commandments require positive action. Jesus identified the most important of those laws, saying: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’”—Matthew 22:37-39.

Other laws require that subjects of God’s Kingdom refrain from certain actions. For example, the Bible provides this clear statement: “Don’t fool yourselves! No one who is immoral or worships idols or is unfaithful in marriage or is a pervert or behaves like a homosexual will share in God’s kingdom. Neither will any thief or greedy person or drunkard or anyone who curses and cheats others.”—1 Corinthians 6:9, 10, Contemporary English Version.

Who are the subjects of God’s Kingdom? Jesus likened the subjects of God’s Kingdom to sheep. He said: “They will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.” (John 10:16) To be a subject of God’s Kingdom, a person must not only say that he follows the Fine Shepherd, Jesus, but also do what he commands. Jesus said: “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will.”—Matthew 7:21.

Therefore, those who are subjects of God’s Kingdom use and honor God’s name, Jehovah, just as did Jesus. (John 17:26) They obey Jesus’ command to teach others about “this good news of the kingdom.” (Matthew 24:14; 28:19, 20) And they show genuine love for one another.—John 13:35.

Bringing “to Ruin Those Ruining the Earth”

Current world conditions signify that God’s Kingdom will soon act to bring sweeping changes to the earth. How do we know that? Two thousand years ago, Jesus described a multifaceted sign that would indicate that “the kingdom of God is near.” (Luke 21:31) As shown in the preceding article, the features of that sign are now clearly evident worldwide.

What comes next? Jesus answers: “Then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.” (Matthew 24:21) This is no man-made catastrophe. Rather, it is God acting “to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” (Revelation 11:18) Wicked people, whose selfish actions have brought the planet to the brink of ruin, “will be cut off from the very earth.” But blameless ones, who serve God acceptably, “will be left over in it.”—Proverbs 2:21, 22.

Jehovah God is justified in taking such drastic action. Why? Consider this illustration: Imagine you own a small apartment building. Some of the tenants are well-behaved and considerate; they pay their rent and take good care of their homes. However, other tenants are disruptive and selfish; they refuse to pay rent and badly damage the building. Despite repeated warnings, their bad conduct persists. What would you do? As the owner, you would surely evict those bad tenants.

Similarly, Jehovah God, as the Creator of the earth and all that is on it, has the right to decide whom he will allow to inhabit the planet. (Revelation 4:11) Jehovah’s stated purpose is to remove from this earth wicked people who ignore his will and encroach on the rights of others.—Psalm 37:9-11.

Paradise Restored

Soon, God’s Kingdom in the hands of Jesus Christ will rule the earth. Jesus called this new beginning “the renewal of all things.” (Matthew 19:28, New International Version) What will conditions be like? Note the following Bible promises:

Psalm 46:9. “He is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth.”

Isaiah 35:1. “The wilderness and the waterless region will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron.”

Isaiah 65:21-23. “The work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full. They will not toil for nothing, nor will they bring to birth for disturbance.”

John 5:28, 29. “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear [Jesus’] voice and come out.”

Revelation 21:4. “[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.”

Reasons to Believe

Do you believe the Bible’s promises? The Bible foretold that many would not. It states: “In the last days there will come ridiculers . . . proceeding according to their own desires and saying: ‘Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death, all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.’” (2 Peter 3:3, 4) But such scoffers are greatly mistaken. Consider just four reasons why you can believe what the Bible says:

(1) God has intervened in earth’s affairs in the past. The Flood of Noah’s day is an outstanding example.—2 Peter 3:5-7.

(2) God’s Word accurately predicted current global conditions.

(3) All things are not “continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.” On a scale unprecedented in history, our planet suffers from social, moral, and environmental degradation.

(4) The “good news of the kingdom” is now being preached throughout the earth, signaling that “the end will come” soon.—Matthew 24:14.

You are invited to study God’s Word, the Bible, so that you can learn more about the hope of everlasting life under the rule of God’s Kingdom. (John 17:3) Yes, a wonderful future awaits mankind. The very best of times lies just ahead! Will you be a part of this future?

[Blurb on page 7]

Those who say that things will stay much the same as they have always been are greatly mistaken

Will you be a part of this future?

Relent

RELENT

by Lucretia Mccloud aka Seah Greenhorn
(poem with copyright)

Act I: Sunrise. Moon cannot too.
Clean slates commence new day.

Babies coo; adolescents boo
since learning delays play.

Adults in ardent work delight;
fulfilled an honest trust.

While animals wild resist light;
await in darkness; lust.

Yes, words are spewed and acts imbued
with kindnesses in mind.

Yet, flesh is weak, imperfect true.
Resist errs done in kind.

Grass bent in breeze reflect true ease
as sun provides its shine.

Sunset: Artistic masterpiece.
Forgiving freely--Divine!

Arise all eyes to awesome skies!
Breathtaking each event.

Thundering warnings don't despise.
Rain heals dried soil. Repent.

Blossoms are born in dirt; reprise.
Love conquers all! Relent.

The Messiah

The Messiah

by Seah Greenhorn

(poem with copyright)

6, 000 years ago,

in the Garden of Eden
after our selfish parents
ate off the forbidden tree;

thereby,
selling us into slavery
to abject sin in its universal misery,

quickly prophesied:

a seed

birthed to crush the head of the wicked serpent
pulverizing this disobedient angel
to eternal death.

Trailing also his unrighteous follower's
both spirits and humans into this regretful eventuality.

Many question:

Is Jesus Christ that designated offspring?
How would he be recognized?
What credentials would he bring?

Well, according to Bible prophecy,
the Messiah, or Christ,
in two roles different
would appear,

separated by thousands of glorious suns and moons revolving
requiring endurance by his disciples
wearing the garb of the faithful;

to the fleshly
not to adhere.

In his first role, he would be a human.
So to clearly be recognized,
many amazing details of his life and ministry
were centuries beforehand written.

Yes, even foretold
to the world he'd be utterly despised.

The Messiah would be . . .

A descendant of King David.
Born in the town of Bethlehem.
A humble proclaimer of “good news.”
Despised and held of no account in all the realm.

Betrayed for 30 pieces of silver.
Silent before his accusers
as they unjustly condemned him to death.

A sacrificial “lamb,” who would annul sin
enabling humans a clean standing before a Holy God.
Yes, these imperfect humans who indeed feel bereft.

Killed without any of his bones being broken.
Buried with the rich.
Resurrected on the third day.

With Christ Jesus was total fulfillment.
Squashing all unbelievers have to say.

In fact,
“the witness concerning Jesus”
is a primary objective of Bible prophecy.

As the end keeps advancing forward
all the nations once arrogantly blind
will be forced humbly to see.

For as a human traversing this land
Jesus demonstrated on a small scale
just what he will do

on a global scale as a mighty spirit creature.

Outperforming any candidate imperfect
in their endeavors
they profess will ensue.

“When the Christ comes,
he will not perform more signs than this man has done, will he?"
was a question asked of him;

since his miracles left masses in amazement.

And the righteous, in earnest wonder:
what the Messiah required of them.

Yes, the Messiah had unselfishly left his favored position in heaven
as the Father's first-born only-begotten Son
to exist for a time among humans imperfect
to scornfully die as a criminal;

on a stake tragically hung.

Bruised in the heel, foretold.
And the seed of the serpent rejoicing
as if they'd eternally won.

But Christ's resurrection by his Father to his right hand
made possible freedom to eventually come
to deliver people from sickness, suffering, the grave.

Why he came to this earth suffering in darkness.

To save an internationally
obedient sum.

So, stage two we are awaiting
in anticipation of the final page.
Blessings earth wide the Messiah will complete
in the soon finale of these wicked days.

For in his second role, the Messiah will. . .

Rule as King of God’s Kingdom,
a world government to the meek sincerely dear.

Be a blessing to all humans who exercise faith in him
with actions clean and their conscious clear.

“Startle many nations” and their rulers when he crushes them for opposing his rule.

Preserve an international “great crowd” of righteous humans into a peaceful new world where new scrolls will be opened;
and all resurrected millions will then be schooled.

Yes, along with Jehovah God, Jesus will bring the dead back to life
in Paradise on earth after eliminating all wicked strife.

Teach his subjects the ways of true peace.
Eradicate sin, the underlying cause of sickness and death.
Ultimately break up all of Satan’s works
uniting the human family back to perfect health

under the rule of Jehovah God.

This is priceless!

A treasure immense
of eternal wealth!

Yes,

Jesus fulfilled his first role as Messiah.
He will also complete his second too.

The wise, therefore, are encouraged to
study him closely,

for Jesus said:
“I am the way and the truth and the life."

Soon, the unrighteous will get their just due.

“In his days the righteous will flourish,
and peace will abound until the moon is no more.
He will have subjects. . . to the ends of the earth."

Yes,

The Messiah
is the One Chosen
by the Creator
to even His Sovereign's
Universal score.

Blind Guides ... Traitorous Hides!

Blind Guides ... Traitorous Hides!

by Lucretia Mccloud aka Seah Greenhorn
(poem with copyright)

To the pit!
Not ... a golden ring to aspire

yet steady steps
onto conveyor
belts

trail them
uncomprehendingly
behind

blind, pious guides.

True,
stripped men grovel;
their families cry out,

their pain--financial strain,
as they stumble, then tumble
down

tight tubes
onto
unforgiving
relentless

waves of tithes.

Not even waxed--the slide inside.

Bumped brains into muddle,
still push
to extricate

grappling hands from
back
pockets,

since life
yields bowls
of
rising dough

impossible to bake.

"Why this extra bind when my heart is not inclined?

He died, right?

To remove added pain?"

Misapplied
to drive sheep forward,
"To keep kicking against the goads

Makes it hard for you,"

whiny counterfeit comfort
for seemingly caustic complaints.

Centuries of mounting monetary mandates
bend shoulders and backs into tables.

Not fables!
Reality!

Broken mental slaves now exhaustedly crawl towards final darkness--Eternal Graves,
to escape

Vultures

circling
Sundays
anew.

Their
world
denuded.

Real
Hope--Defused.

Eyes
unfortunately
scaled

Promise

Assured
Demise,

since

Judas(s),
greedy,

their
ill-advised sheep

Despise.

Can One Just Knock On Heaven's Door?

Can One Just Knock On Heaven's Door?

by Lucretia Mccloud aka Seah Greenhorn

(poem with copyright)

Daddy,
I don't want to live here anymore

amidst famine, earthquakes, pestilence, violence,
earthwide

so much bloody war.

Yesterday molested;

today
by family deplored

for disloyally revealing
what occurred tragically
to me before.

Please,

may I rap
tap, even lightly on heaven's door?

Will you open if I do implore?

Maybe I'll crawl till my knees are sore.

Will you then open up for me
heaven's door?

*

Daughter,
you too I do adore!

I feel your pain;
your anguish more.

I have a remedy already in store
to help you survive;

your spirit soar.

My Kingdom Come.
Peace to restore.

Around the earth
a Paradise!

For this do seek
I do implore.

With Christ as King
to remove all vice.

No need to try
to sadly die.

No need to rap
on heaven's door.

If I do call and you do answer

it may not be to starry skies.

If dust you are
under death's hateful banner

will you balk

if to earth
you are reprised?

My purpose
has always been

for

obedient mankind

to live in harmony
upon this land.

It's not a plan
to dispose of any

meek and humble

following my commands.

So if you must
sleep for a second

close your eyes
and rest your soul.

I will call your name
in order

to release you from

what masses consider
an unjust
cold.

You will rise
to love of friends

and family you do adore.

A world
cleansed

of which Jesus boldly
an evildoer told

"You will be with me in Paradise."

An opportunity:
Youthful Forever.

Never old.

Were Humans Intended to Go to Heaven?

Since angels were serving God in heaven before the founding of the earth, the first man and woman were evidently not created to populate the heavens. Rather, God said to that first human pair: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth.” (Genesis 1:28; Acts 17:26) Adam was the first of a new form of earthly life, able to know God and to serve him faithfully. He was to father a race of humans whose home would be the earth. “As regards the heavens, to Jehovah the heavens belong, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.”—Psalm 115:16.

People do not normally want to die; death is not natural for humans. God mentioned death to Adam only as the punishment for disobedience. Had Adam obeyed, he would never have died.—Genesis 2:17; Romans 5:12.
Not surprisingly, then, God said nothing to Adam about going to heaven. So the earth was not to be a proving ground where people would be tested to see if they were fit for heaven. Man was created to live forever on earth, and that purpose of God will yet be fulfilled. The Bible promises that “the righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:29) Clearly, humans were not originally meant to go to heaven. Why, then, did Jesus promise heavenly life to his apostles? Did Jesus mean that all good people will go to heaven? ... http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2010082  © 2 hours ago, Lucretia Mccloud    death • family • hope • love • pain
