Diversity Among the Twelve

spread among twelve mountains
on Earth
the twelve tribes‒
separated in diversity
amongst the believers of God
being judged on their worth
from darkness to the Light
‒how on the edge of Hope
do they surf
‒knowing the Truth of the Father
and of the Son
yet in Sin they pervert

starting with the first
down in darkness they lay
‒the Apostates and Blasphemers
and betrayers of the servants of God
‒Death surrounds them
in darkness they're inserted
‒a race of lawless ones
with no chance to convert

the second lays bare
in the dirt
the master Hypocrites
teachers of Wickedness
‒leaving out fruits of Righteousness
baring an empty name
for their Faith is a byword‒
empty and destitute

but not too far
from the Light's resolute
for they didn't Blaspheme the Lord
nor betray His servants

though absent of Truth
quickly, they should convert
slowly, they die with the first

the third embedded with Thorns and Thistles
‒those in Business…immersed
God's servants…they fully heard
easily and openly they can convert
‒but business in network
turns them into a jagged herd

those who are rich, fully heard, too
but they don't Want to be asked
to disburse
any of their wealth
‒sharing is not a perk
as walking amongst Thistles with bare feet
is unheard
so is for these, the Kingdom earned

but those who convert
the former actions
left to former works
‒the move to rebirth
doing Good deeds
and gaining a Kingdom's worth

the fourth, a bit of Doubting jerks
‒the Lord on their lips
talking like a bird's chirp
but absent a heart's perch
their foundation burned
living on merely Words
‒dead are their works

Waverers: neither living or dead
when afflictions are confirmed
their Fears emerge
running to idols
‒ashamed of the Lord's name

yet they may live
if open to convert
but quickly they must turn
or else they burn

the fifth are slow to learn
Obstinate, pleasing their own turf
‒wishing to know everything
but know nothing at all
for this‒
Understanding…from them…turned
Foolish Senselessness
became their intern
praising themselves‒
Wisdom…Self-served

being teachers…they wish to affirm
lacking sense Needed to learn
this loftiness of mind‒
they become vain
exalting themselves
not knowing the verse:
self-will and empty confidence
‒great beings in satan's universe

‒they, too, are open for the converse
Wickedness, they didn't preserve
just Foolishness without Understanding
for them, it is a choice
in reverse
or else there they go
to the hearse

the sixth, some are occupied with Blame
charging each other
lost in coerce
a Slandering game in commerce

losing their Faith, their worth
this simple misdemeanor
won't keep them from convert
‒they quickly turn to the Word

those who persist in Slander
Vindictive in their Anger
towards each other‒
will find it hard to reverse

Slander, Vindictiveness, Anger‒
are beings of satan
if you can't rebuke them‒
they consume and purge
unwilling to let you go
‒Mercy will not emerge
in Death you will submerge

the seventh, together merge
surrounding themselves with
Simplicity, Harmlessness and Blessings
bringing no charges against one another
‒for always rejoicing
for the servants of God

singing a beautiful concert
they are absent of dirt
instead…clothed in the Holy Spirit
always having Pity
for every man, a giving squirt
their aid coming from their own labor
without Reproach or Hesitation

the Lord, seeing the generosity
in their Meekness of 'ship' in 'intern'
multiplied them
amid the labors of their hands
Grace…upon them
He surged

continue to do these…is urged
your seed…never blotted out
from your trials‒
continue to emerge
you will dwell with the Son
for on you
the Holy Spirit is perched

the eighth contains the fountains
where Apostles and Teachers urge
with Truth
living in Solemnest
giving purely the Word of the Lord
without Needing research
and having no Material Desire
‒always walking in Righteousness
and Truth
as they received from the Holy Spirit

these, on Life, didn't splurge
‒will walk in with the Messengers
from the Kingdom‒
a Holy reimburse
for all their Truthful work

the ninth holds stained servants
who build massive churches
who took their duty‒
ill-fully disbursed
building personal wealth
from the ministry in their charge

in the eyes of conversion
to gain Life
they must rid themselves
of these possessions
and the enjoyment thereof

there are those preaching the Word
but denying the Lord
for they enjoy the possessions
and wealth
their Egos and Prides
hold them tight
‒refusing to hear the verse
from God's True servants

these often live in solitude
destroying their own soul
for the Word of God
with others…not conversed
killing the vine
which Needs to be nursed
instead it withers
becoming useless to the Father
as such men who give up on themselves
become useless to the Lord
instead become like a savaging hearse

these have a chance
to convert
seek the Lord
with all their Mind, all their hearts
for they know of the Son
but deny like a blank verse
loosing Life, gaining Death
in all seems a curse

taking the chance to convert
brings them Life

also lies here
the Deceitful and the Slanderers
for money...preaching the Word
stealing souls of men
with their worded poison
mutilating their own Faith

‒allowances are given
a chance to convert
if they quickly run
from the intended hearse
‒living by the True Word
from the inside out

the tenth are the overseers
Hospitality's their turf
welcoming in their homes
the servants of God
without Dissimulation's curse

they never failed to protect
by their service's burst
‒the widows
those who are in Want
always their conversation's full
of Holy thirst

all of these are protected
by the Lord's perch
their place with the messengers
reserved
if they continue
to the Lord…serve

the eleventh's full of the fruitful verse
laying their life down
by suffering for the Son of God
with their whole heart
a Kingdom…they deserve

all their Sins remitted
‒their Life preserved
the fuller fruits are they
for they never denied
He who is the Word
nor His Son
‒never did they pervert

these lesser fruits
are they who had to think
confused in their search
whether to deny or not
as they suffered
‒for evil in their hearts lurked

suffering for God
the most Holy reserved
for He deemed your worth
that all your Sins are healed

even if your Sins are heavy
you feeling unworthy
only God can know your True worth
let Him decide the curve
‒whom shall carry His name
is His determination to swerve

remember the heavy surf:
if you had not suffered
for His name
you would have died
‒gone forever…submerged

so leave out hesitation
‒in your hour of controverse
that you may choose the Lord
‒never having to rehearse

finally, the twelfth
the infant children of His church
never knowing Wickedness
completely without Doubt
reside in His Kingdom
for never being without His commandments
‒remaining like children
all the days of their life

blessed are you
who put away Wickedness from yourselves
‒put on Innocence
you will live to God first
without hunger or thirst

the twelfth is that of the Light
no darkness is found in it
it is of brightness and shines
those who emit Happiness
Cheerfully and Joyfully

there are a few in the twelfth‒
obscured by riches
darkened a bit from Truth
‒but never departing from God
nor passing on evil words
only living by Justice, Virtue
and Truth
‒basically born Good

these the Lord takes to heart
cutting down their riches
not for them to completely depart
so that they may do some Good
with what is left
for them to live to God
for they have True worth
‒their refinement has more worth

of the twelfth's purse
not one will remain in submerge
for they must enter the Kingdom
‒refinement, at times, necessary
although Sin may emerge and conquer
those of the twelfth
quickly reverse
‒returning to the Lord

(April 14, 2024)—Part seven of Similitude Nine given to Hermas. He didn’t lead me to any Scriptures when I finally finished this piece. It took me several days. At first, it confused me, but then He explained. Race…compared to what humans consider race to be is totally different from what God sees as a race. It has nothing to do with skin, and has everything to do with the light.
