#balaam
Making a living Wage from the living Word Inevitably shades, obscures, taints and corrupts Betrays the apparently living Faith And exalting the Man than the Word Balaam refused silver and gold in public But embraced death's wages in secret Certainly the labourer deserves his dues But from his Master and not from fellow labourers If the lives you saved leave you hungry But for your whip, perhaps they're yet slaves

Shading the Truth
Nicolaitans, enigmatic, but Balaam we think we’re certain. Truly they’re both mysteries, wisely and deliberately hidden. Flesh and blood cannot reveal but only the Father in heaven. Jesus, the only teacher, explains, as always, privately to his chosen.

Revelations
The faithless believe in belief The idolatry of his will to believe Preyed upon by Balaam the prophet Anointed but evil, speaks truth but lies Promised escape when Tribulation comes For a fake ticket, the faithless sold his soul Does a soldier flee when war arrives? Was not war the call he obeyed? When sun’s hidden and moon’s fallen Light shines most bright on darkened Earth The Covenant is not of bread alone But surely all shall drink the Cup too Israel was embittered against Moses They’re yet slaves, and their burden heavier Pharaoh hardened, proud and defiant Egypt ravaged by plagues and ruined Israel ate unleavened bread and bitter herbs Unseen, the Angel of Death passed over

The Tribulation
The strong, ordained, as the sword evil feared. Today evil's lawless, nations cowered. Balaam lives, the strong loves self shamelessly. ***** shall rise and condemn, righteously.
