THE "SIEVE OF WORTHLESSNESS".

"Dad, what is this sieve called "worthlessness"?
  Is it like ours, to make things fine?  Yes?

"Where on earth did you hear that?
  From that old school, that's my guess."

"No. From this old book I found in the bin.
  It's got lots of pages, they're all about sin."

"A sieve, son, refines out what isn't required.
  To keep what is best, what is most desired."

"It says, "to swing the nations, to and fro",
 The prophet Isaiah wrote it, didn't you know?"

"Well, you read it son, you'll soon work it out.
  I've got enough troubles to worry about."

"I'll read it to you Dad, if you'll just wait,
  It's in  Isaiah chapter thirty, verse twenty-eight."

"It's about God sieving people to where they fit,
  Nations     to leave the wrongdoers inside of it."

"Are we a worthless nation, as I've heard you say?
  Will we fall through this sieve, or will we stay?

  I mean, who else could it be used for, Dad,
  If not for everyone, the good and the bad?"

"It refines out the worthless by how they lived,
  From those being sanctified through His sieve."

"Just as in an olive grove three or four olives might be left on each tree, or as a few grapes in a vineyard might be overlooked by the sharp-eyed pickers, so also in those days three or four will be overlooked by those who search the houses to kill."  (2 Esdras 16:29-32 NEB).
 

THE "SHARP-EYED PICKERS".

They are still searching family clusters,
In every neighbourhood, with voices like silk.
Have they left you with "frog"-like expressions,
Propagations of demons, to rob your 'vine'?

By faith and discernment these thieves are identified,
Inhabiting men and women where they can.
We publicly expose them, and are left in the "vine",
Overlooked by those searching the houses to kill.

Their hordes rob the deluded of their clusters,
Apostate searchers condemned by The Christ.

"Fierce flames are being kindled to burn you. A great horde will descend on you; they will seize some of you and make you eat pagan sacrifices. Those who give in to them will be derided, taunted, and trampled on…"  (From 2 Esdras 16:68-73 NEB).

       ANOTHER IRON AND CLAY.

Kingdoms by intermarriage many did cradle,
These clues are for solving the truth, not a fable.
Nations like iron, mixed with clay cannot cling, (1)
Formed, last of all, upon "the wing".

A bar among clays, the profits they selfishly divide,
Before the "Stone" among them with power collides. (2)
Is ever enduring, striking their commercial "image",
Shall become a "mountain", during the "Jacob" age.

"Smooth-skinned" clay-like ones spoil their greed. (3)
Shattering their financial oppressive "seed".
So have you solved this intermarriage indicator?
Who were Bar clays in Africa, the greedy manipulator.

PRETTY RED AND WHITE STICKERS.
(Acts 15:19,20.  Rom 1:24-27).

Another ambulance carrying human contagion,
Slows to a stop at blood red light.

Terminal agonies wait hopelessly within,
No clemency, merely recompense.

Red hearts on stickers, windows and walls,
Publicly advertise obdurate guilt.

Enemies with bloody veins give unclean gifts,
Defiling the pretty stickers.

Flesh-worshippers still reject God's Law,
And from vein to vein their lives.

Pray no cure is ever allowed, that like Sodom
All mankind may not gravely end.

Most immune deficiencies (A.I.D.S) are acquired by choice through the appalling behaviour of certain men. Such deficiencies are restraints set in place by God. The "fitting wage" for their perversion is death.  (Rom 1:27 NEB).

Many JWs are Postmen delivering worldly mail.  I wrote this poem for them:

WHOSE MESSENGERS?  WHOSE WITNESSES?

Messengers of words unseen, of contents unknown,
Are indifferent facilitators of the troubles being sown.
Conveying their sins through others owning wings,
To the scheming, the perverted, to the wealthy, to kings.

Delivering threats and curses from those unclean,
Still claim to be righteous, I've heard and I've seen.
Wearing government uniforms sealed by The Crown,
While "sealed" ones of God they "trampled" down.

They change their attire for house to house searches,
With consciences salved by their fellows in churches,
Of His Word they know, to touch nothing unclean,
Masquerading as righteous ones before God, are seen.

Being members of this world, their mail they carry,
And with evil spirits their destiny is married!
No more of their apostasy, enough is disclosed,
To the One who is Great their sins are exposed.

                                                           7/6/86.

FOR THE FAITHFUL.

Say something beautiful, that tired minds may rest,
Gently refreshing, like a cool spring upon a dry tongue.
True words, for the lonely and the sick to feel loved,
No more of empty stomachs that swell,
Of those who cannot cry anymore.
Say something beautiful.

Give generously your thoughts of pleasantness,
To those dying:  Remind them of His love, with kisses.
Remove their fears with a flood of loveliness.
Soothe the anxious brow with hopes assured.
Speak love, before we part.
Say something beautiful.

Our Beloved saves the faithful through affliction.
He waits patiently to receive us home,
To ecstasies of everlasting delight.
Keeping His promise to the lowly and forlorn,
He will end all pain and tears and doubt.
Our spirits shall swell with indescribable joy, forever.

WHO IS THE "FALSE PROPHET"?

Haven't I read that expression somewhere before?
Yes, in the Bible   of today   but written long ago.

Who is he, I wonder?  Where does he reside?
Surely the things he expresses must be lies!

But are people doing the things that he said?
Yes, those with the "mark" in their hand or forehead.

I remember still more, he's not one, but many,
With demonic expressions to aid his blasphemy.

Nations he gathered!  Around the world they ran.
With unclean expressions against Africa's drought and ban.

Oh, why did they do it? Against God their war-cry.
The Bible says that it is Almighty God they defy.

For Judgement (Jehoshaphat) they ran from His decision,
To charities, the "false prophet", who rallies their division.

These "frogs" you know, and their demonic instruction,
With the political "wild beast": Their coming destruction.

So sorry reader, I knew, but pretended,
Exposing "frog"-like expressions until they are ended.

While still alive, they are now being "caught",
Against God's Word they demonstrated and fought.
