A SIGN OF JUDGMENT?
Heed
the sign of the rainbow,
God’s miracle in the sky.
Seven colors he banded in a bow and raised on high.
Shining
forth as a promise – after rain it would appear,
So
Noah and family and animals could read the message clear.
A
pledge to all generations, their safety assured in the dark.
God
had flooded the earth to bring His judgment on wicked people.
His
heart was filled with grief, looking down upon such evil.
But
afterward He determined that He’d never do it again.
He
set His bow in the heavens, arched up high across the land.
God
loves the sign of the rainbow circled around His throne.
But
now the wicked have turned the meaning upside down –
They
flaunt the garish colors on the White House like a clown!
Others
look on and see no harm, considering themselves elite.
They
never consider the Word of God, their minds are filled with conceit.
They
reason that they are the tolerant ones, and prudes have suffered defeat.
But
Jesus has sounded His warning in the pages of His Holy Book –
“As
it was in the days of Noah,”[4] these are the things
for
which to look –
And
giving in marriage was at the top of His list, we sadly realize.
Marriage,
a picture of Christ and His bride,[5]
they’ve perverted with
their lies!
They
drag the rainbow through the mud and celebrate with pride,
But
everyone will stand before the Lord, no one can hide.
The
day is coming, the prophet says,
and like stubble the wicked will burn,[6]
But
God isn’t willing for one to perish[7] –
He calls out to them to
turn.
The
clouds are gathering over our land, and He’d like to spare us pain.
The
Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing for those
who fear His name.[8]
But
do not think that God will wink and say it does not matter.
“Live
and let live – we have equal rights!”
Oh, the godless chatter!
And
lest you think it’s hate
when Christians preach to them to stop,
They’re
walking off a cliff, and they’ll be dashed upon a rock!
Jesus
said His word is true, and none has been abolished.
Every
jot and tittle that is written can’t be demolished.[9]
The
Law that Moses wrote may sound severe, but have no qualms,
For
Jesus taught the disciples,
beginning at Moses, the prophets, and Psalms.[10]
“You
shall not lie with a male as with a woman
– an abomination!”[11]
But
the grace of God is powerful indeed,
and you can have salvation!
To
summarize the state of our nation and the sign of the rainbow:
Cry
out to God – His forgiveness is real, and submit to HIS say-so!
