‘Not like Cain’ (contest: Cain and Abel 1st draft)
A human tragedy protraying Satan’s hatred
for righteousness
in any degree.
As when he later slayed his brother Jesus.
But retracted this heinous act
when resurrected Christ
to heaven,… wouldn’t you agree?
First nailed to a tree until dead.
Then three days later… a morphed butterfly ‘king’!
Ended his suffering.
Ransomed for mankind for the same.
A reversal!… Joy to spring forth
in an endless season of rebirth
As when Abel again rises
back
to an earth cleansed of the stain
from Adam’s sin:
“Do not be amazed at this,
for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”. John 5:28, 29.
“Your dead will live.
My corpses will rise up.
Awake and shout joyfully,
You residents in the dust!
For your dew is as the dew of the morning,
And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” Isa. 26:19.
Yes,
the Devil
who over centuries
this scene repeated:
“man has dominated man to his harm.” Eccl. 8:9.
Yet, again in his anger he’ll try to defend
his proteges enacting the greatest pretends
until the battle of ‘Armageddon’
when they’ll meet their timely end:
“I saw also an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice and said to all the birds that fly in midheaven:
“Come here, be gathered together to the great evening meal of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of military commanders and the flesh of strong men and the flesh of horses and of those seated on them, and the flesh of all, of freemen as well as of slaves and of small ones and great.”
And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the one seated on the horse and against his army.” Rev. 19:17-19.
All his cavalry the birds of heaven will eat.
Plucked flesh in defeat
As manure on the surface of the earth
as seen by Jeremiah in prophesy:
“At that time,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “people will also bring forth the bones of the kings of Judah and the bones of its princes and the bones of the priests and the bones of the prophets and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem from their graves.
And they will actually spread them out to the sun and to the moon and to all the army of the heavens that they have loved and that they have served and that they have walked after and that they have sought and that they have bowed down to.
They will not be gathered, nor will they be buried. As manure upon the face of the ground they will become.” Jer. 8:1, 2.
Burials not for these unrighteous ones!
Then chained for a thousand years
Satan and his demon angels
who’ll have time to meditate:
“And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for 1, 000 years.
And he hurled him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not mislead the nations anymore until the 1, 000 years were ended. After this he must be released for a little while.” Rev. 20:1, 2.
Yet, still when let loose
he’ll again use ruses to confuse
a multitude of perfected ones
free-will to sadly abuse.
They’ll not in loyalty hesitate.
But then, finally!… Jesus will all disloyal ones
eternally annihilate!
No more wars!… As done by Cain.
Billions dead in battles worldwide
which he did horribly and quickly
initiate:
“He is bringing an end to wars throughout the earth.” Ps. 46:9.
Abel will return to live
under a righteous and peaceful reign
through which Jehovah God and Christ Jesus
for international obedient mankind
did lovingly provide and will forever maintain
by means of God’s Kingdom government
which will allow all ‘Abel’ like ones
to securely and happily
eternally abide:
“They will sit,
each one under his vine and under his fig tree,
And no one will make them afraid,
For the mouth of Jehovah of armies has spoken.” Micah 4:4.
Cain & Abel is your prompt. Whatever this inspires~
Tips:
Rhyming or free verse are favored … I’m not keen on prose.
Try to employ poetic devices such as imagery, metaphors, personification to bring your works to life.
Keep it clean please ~
