‘Time’s Arising’ (God)

…As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you….—2 Kings 2:1-11

Time's Arising (God)

you don't lay words out
on pages
just to see them wither

you don't send visions
to prophets
to have them buried
under anonymous folk tales

neither do I†, the Lord Almighty†

how candid of you
to think I† would

I† deemed what I† deemed
to honor My† name
for you to discuss
to consider

is it too hard to consider
words I† send

rise up 'o time
it is approaching
this time of mourning
this time of peril
that I† have spoken about

in the coming time
this time will be seen, known

'o the sleepy ones of the world
stagnated and dull
listen attentively
to these words I† say
rise up and hear
for the time is approaching

be gone 'o arrogance
your time is coming
to an end

a wasteland of such beauty
a tiredness unbecoming
of such beauty

has the rain fallen
enough for you
did it come down
too fast

does it mimic your pace
so fast you walk
trying to keep up

but you can't

I† hold the reigns
of such a precise move
as this

'hail to the chief'
you wail out
as people lay dying
in the streets
as confusion grips them
strangling them

are you going to help them

did I† not send enough
for you to help them

more will need help
look to the left
the high western sky
a great peril is approaching
from far within the earth
a rattling
unapproachable

how can you not see it
how blinded you've become
but I† sent word
I† set the pace
for you to awaken
to My† massiveness
to match yours

'o great western sky
is the sky red in the night
does the sky glisten
in all its magnificence
shades of dawn
before you lay your head down
to sleep

the chariots have been waiting
biting at the bit
their horses have become
restless

are you not paying attention

rise up 'o chariots
tighten the reigns
the reigns I† have given
slash those ropes hard
time is approaching
for your stance to begin

I† have sent word
the one and only living God†
has sent word
preparation
of your arrival

ears are so hushed
by so much noise
a prevailing sound of noise
to blanket out
these words I† send

how pitiful it will be
for them

a western sky set in doom

but it's not doom at all
it is a slow and preciseness
never known by man

how will he endure
such a movement
if he isn't prepared

so much mourning to arise

they were not prepared before
I† did not warn them
they were beyond arrogant
they slaughtered without
thought
sending My† seed to fire
in hopes of life to arise
from the filth of their
flames

no, I† did not send words
I† instructed
and the one open ear
who heard
did what I† instructed
without question

in the middle of a dry desert
he, this opened ear
built a boat of all boats
he labored night and day
as he was being mocked
and shunned

an open ear
a pleasant aroma for Me†

let the people know
prophet
there are many good ears
in this generation
I† will not destroy them all

My† heart goes out to good ears

hear Me†, 'o good ears
I† am speaking
setting a preparation

prepare
seek refuge
help those who cannot
help themselves

the good things will be needed
vastly
the preparation
of what's to come

sing loud 'o watchman
of the tower
give word 'o prophet
of words
tell them to prepare

as I†, the Lord Almighty†
the God† of all creation
have to reset balance
for balance has come
undone

(August 25, 2022)—He led me to 2 Kings 2:1-11 through 2 Kings 4:1-7 after. Elijah being taken up and Elisha taking over as prophet. Interesting.
