I went into the time machine, Just again, to examine. I beheld Him who formed Everything, and it was good, Including the first man and woman, Whom He adorned with glory And placed within a garden. Then, as I was about to step out, I saw they went against the law Of Him who fed them. They were led out of the garden. Yet, something enthralling happened: He clothed them. Traveling further, I saw him Whose hands smelled of blood and hatred, Yet a mark of mercy was upon him. An old couple, who had no heir Yet believed in Him, got a son, And became a father of a multitude. And there was this cunning shepherd Who needed a change, wrestled with the Creator, And gained a new status. A young boy, trapped by his brethren, Enslaved and betrayed, Yet it played out for their good, For the brothers and the world. The stubborn generation, Who had to see to believe, Who doubted more often than most, Were clothed in glory, fed, nurtured, And protected. And then the Messiah, Who took the pains of those living And those yet to be born, To bring back peace Between the One who formed everything And us. And presently, nations enjoy His sacrifice, And those who don't still partake Of His mercy. My examination in the time machine Is this: The One who formed the world is good, Always good and forever good. He is God, the Maker of heaven and earth.
