‘Commencement Entitled’ (God)

Commencement Entitled (God)

go in peace

write what I say

it is not for you to decide
but for Me†, the Lord† almighty
the beginning and the end
the top and the bottom
and all in between

I† make the choice

you have made the choice
trust was given to you
you took it
bullied
rattled cages
split lives
imprisoned falsely
torn up bodies
did unspeakable things
in your reckless judgment

time is time
it has come
time written 
time spoken

'where are You† righteous one?'
you ask kneeling on the dirt
'where are you my God†?'
you beg
as evil men tear people apart
with their weapons
'how can You† forsake me?'
you demand as your daughters are raped

I† AM!

you ask for Me† too late
you bask in your wealth
fine linen
drunken foods
you sex anyone without thought
sell your daughters and sons
nothing happens to you

it HAPPENS to them!

when it happens to you
you beg Me†
you BEG ME†!

I'm† not a puppet
to come at your beck and call
I† watch
I† see the righteous
I† help the sincere
I† send wrath to the dishonest
to the hate and sinful

oh! arrogance, you hypocrites
judging the simple
while you yourselves pillage
on their only worth

I† see them
they kneeling without tears
and trust My† every move
they weaken then they strengthen
they never leave Me†
not for money
not for fame
not for anything

MERCY! 
they give

MERCY!
they receive

I† am the Lord almighty
the one and only living God†
I† breathe
I† roam
I† sit and watch

time has come 
I† set the Judge† loose
He† is waiting
as My† hand sweeps
He† is waiting
to make your final decision

this is the fifth sin against humanity
...all nations

(August 31, 2021)—The Lord Almighty said, ‘This is the fifth sin against humanity…all nations.’

I was lead to Exodus 17:8-13-18:24-27 before He gave me the words. This Scripture is for you.

*Defeat of Amalekites—The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. Moses said to Joshua, ‘Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands.’ So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.—Exodus 17:8-13

Amalek to be Destroyed—Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.’ Moses built an altar and called it The Lord of my Banner. He said, ‘For hands were lifted up to the throne of the Lord. The Lord will be at war against the Amalekites from generation to generation.’—Exodus 17:14-16

Reunion of Moses and Jethro—Now Jethro, the priest of Midian and father-in-law of Moses, heard of everything God had done for Moses and for his people Israel, and how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt. After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro received her and her two sons. One son was named Gershom, for Moses said, ‘I have become an alien in a foreign land’; and the other was named Eliezer, for he said, ‘My father’s God was my helper; He saved me from the sword of Pharaoh.’ Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, together with Moses’ sons and wife, came to him in the desert, where he was camped near the mountain of God. Jethro had sent word to him, ‘I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons.’ So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. They greeted each other and then went into the tent. Moses told his father-in-law about everything the Lord had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel’s sake and about all the hardships they had met along the way and how the Lord had saved them. Jethro was delighted to hear about all the good things the Lord had done for Israel in rescuing them from the hand of the Egyptians.—Exodus 18:1-9

Jethro Worships God—He said, ‘Praise be to the Lord, who rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and of Pharaoh, and who rescued the people from the hand of the Egyptians. Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods, for He did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly.’ Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law in the presence of God.—Exodus 18:10-12

Jethro Suggets Judiciary—The next day Moses took his seat to serve as judge for the people, and they stood around him from morning till evening. When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he said, ‘What is this you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?’ Moses answered him, ‘Because the people come to me to seek God’s will. Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God’s decrees and laws.’ Moses’ father-in-law replied, ‘What you are doing is not good. You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone. Listen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must be the people’s representative before God and bring their disputes to Him. Teach them the decrees and laws, and show them the way to live and the duties they are to perform. But select capable men from all the people―men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain―and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. Have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share it with you. If you do this and God so commands, you will be able to stand the strain, and all these people will go home satisfied.’—Exodus 18:13-23

Judges Appointed—Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said. He chose capable men from all Israel and made them leaders of the people, officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. They served as judges for the people at all times. The difficult cases they brought to Moses, but the simple cases they decided themselves. Then Moses sent his father-in-law on his way, and Jethro returned to his own country.—Exodus 18:24-27
