‘The Long Haul’ (Yeshuah)

The Long Haul (Yeshuah)

did they buckle in
for the ride
did they prepare

some

I†, Yeshuah†, will explain

many sought preparations
in a different way
a worldly way

they didn't worry about
food, proper wear, proper books
they didn't concern themselves
with 'supplies of need'

it was 'supplies of want'

they didn't pay attention
to the distractions
for they were distracted
by the distraction

they didn't bother to question
why so much
they didn't bother looking
as the distraction was
right before their faces

they were busy doing
what the punisher set
before them

buying and selling
dealing
using and abusing
manipulated

they were busy
keeping maliciousness breathing

praying went into confusion

they began praying
for things
material emptiness

the rich hoarded the wealth
the poor began to die
the poor who knew God†
and Myself†
the poor who knew
what gifts are
who understood grace
and mercy and forgiveness

the rich struck deals
souls were sold
for wealth became the idol
people became the idol

I† was mocked
God†, the Father†, was mocked

the beheading of My† church
took precedence
the enemy was patient
one country at a time
it began to make its mark
drive its impact

two enemies
one hidden
one in the open
pretending to bring peace
but was doomed
in secret
betrayal between the two

death spread
darkness started small
in small places
then it spilled across
the lands

the Father† backed away
letting faith conquer
letting the people watch
as what they deemed
faith to be
failed

it was never faith
it was the mockery of faith

the darkness rested
on the people
God† handed them over
to their desires

only a small remnant
remained in true faith
the Father† hid them

for you, the reader
to understand your fate
to understand
how they lost God's† protection

sin didn't win
discipline did
the ways of the world
get too big after a period of time

the Father†
the creator of all things
knows, is always aware

man fools himself
pleading there is no God†

God† lives always
His† kingdom is always
I† am always

(September 22, 2022)—‘The Long Haul’ was given September 19, 2022. After I received it, I was led to Ecclesiastes Ecclesiastes 3:1-17; 12:11,12; Ecclesiastes 7:1-6 through Ecclesiastes 8:1.

Sayings of the Wise—The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one Shepherd. Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.—Ecclesiastes 12:11,12

**Wisdom Comes From Sorrow—A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth. It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure. It is better to heed a wise man’s rebuke than to listen to the song of fools. Like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of fools. This too is meaningless.—Ecclesiastes 7:1-6

Danger of Extremism—In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these: a righteous man perishing in his righteousness, and a wicked man living long in his wickedness. Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise—why destroy yourself? Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool—why die before your time? It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. The man who fears God will avoid all extremes.—Ecclesiastes 7:15-18

Few Choose Wisdom—‘Look,’ says the Teacher, ‘this is what I have discovered: ‘Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things—while I was still searching but not finding—I found one upright man among a thousand, but not one upright woman among them all. This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes.’—Ecclesiastes 7:27-29

Enriching Nature of Wisdom—Who is like the wise man? Who knows the explanation of things? Wisdom brightens a man’s face and changes its hard appearance.—Ecclesiastes 8:1

Purpose And Balance in Life—There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under Heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. What does the worker gain from his toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere Him. Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account. And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment—wickedness was there, in the place of justice—wickedness was there. I thought in my heart, ‘God will bring to judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time for every deed.’—Ecclesiastes 3:1-17
