Mat 24:6 When reports come in of wars and rumored wars, keep your head and don't panic. This is routine history; this is no sign of the end.
Sleep, precious one The sheltered oblivion of innocence Passes quickly In the revelation of darkness and light
Mat 24:7 Nation will fight nation and ruler fight ruler, over and over. Famines and earthquakes will occur in various places.
But consider the intimate whispered things The divinity of DNA I made you to stand unshaken Uncompromised Unforsaken, Child I am with you
Mat 24:8 This is nothing compared to what is coming.
The celebration of death Macabre mutations of sacred and profane Black and white will blur And you will cry alone Over gray shadows of lives That might have been
Mat 24:9 "They are going to throw you to the wolves and **** you, everyone hating you because you carry my name.
But you have the courage To stare death down I am your forever Each beat of your heart Remembers my promise
Mat 24:10 And then, going from bad to worse, it will be dog-eat-dog, everyone at each other's throat, everyone hating each other.
Eyes blind they stare At the mirrored reflections Unable to recognize The sanctity of a human life But you’re not among the walking dead
Mat 24:11 "In the confusion, lying preachers will come forward and deceive a lot of people.
One way, one truth, one life This mantra whispered In the cacophony of choice Residue of lost souls, multiple paths To a destination of perpetual separation Just follow me….
Mat 24:12 For many others, the overwhelming spread of evil will do them in--nothing left of their love but a mound of ashes.
The conditional provisions Bound, gagged and shackled This was never my way
Mat 24:13 "Staying with it--that's what God requires. Stay with it to the end. You won't be sorry, and you'll be saved.
Sleep precious Child I will wait for you in your future When you know its not in the victory But the struggle You will find me where I’ve always been Within I bring you Peace.
Love Dad
