‘The Rock’

…He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life….—Titus 3:3-8

The Rock

the foundation sits on the rock
upon this foundation sits a wall
built from an overstock
voided of all clots

the wall‒
pristine and glistening
‒stones fitting every slot

together….these stones interlock

many weren't perfect
on the spot
some were rounded
others had bumps and knots
they were taken from the wall
casted aside
refined and cropped
until they fit their perfected slot

this doesn't come on the dot
there's always a stop
when they are covered in spots

for the wall is perfect
in every way
not one stone fills a plot
until perfection has its shot

there is a gate in the wall
it's a one-way shop
no other way to get around
no passing under
no passing over the top

there's no photoshopping
no foxtrot
nor any melting pot

which every stone
passing through
block for block
‒ through hard-knocks
passing times tick-tock
joined this and that flock
'til they saw the crock
backed up a bit‒
experienced a bit of paradox
decided the unorthodox
was a better flock

they rarely checked the clock
they just knew
they were wearing the wrong frock

yes, the foundation on the rock
is solid
firm without knots

it was set
way before man's clock
began to rock

each stone hand-picked
by those tending
the workshop
‒building a wall so strong
and smooth
without one, single glob

leading to a tower
filled with the choicest of stock

you see, the foundation on the rock
the gate in the wall
‒the very rock itself
are all the Son†
leading the best stock
up the tower
to see the face of God†

(April 10, 2024)—Part one of Similitude Nine given to Hermas.

Similitude Nine is a lot. And writing it the way God is instructing has been a bit scary. Everything that I’ve been taught since 2019, on who God and Yeshuah are, is spelled out in this similitude through a series of parables that are actually part of one.
