FOREVER (Contest New Writes (100 Spots) – Si-On)

Many a winding mountain trail
proves cramped and narrow

though glorious its view.

Focused must one be
if continued life to prevail.

No haphazard thoughts
at this time to tragically pursue:

“Go in through the narrow gate,”

admonished Christ
to his disciples who left many careers
behind

to take up an urgent work
assigned; global in scope… until the end
of Satan’s system.

To many people
felt long overdue!

Yes, the devil’s way is easy
from many a point-of-view.
For ‘tolerance’ and ‘acceptance’
of everything anyone desires to do

falsely called ‘freedom’
first promised to Eve.

But peruse please our daily news:

Global warming due to ‘greed.
Violence due to hatred increasing in speed.
Another World war threatening indeed.
Famine. Natural disasters. Pestilence too.

Internationally, good leadership a mandatory need…

Yes: “Broad is the gate and spacious
is the road

leading off into destruction,” If one
does not behold

Christ as King installed,
though, a spirit, thus, invisible.

Sadly “many are going in through it;”
the spacious gate

with these selfish attitudes
wondrously foretold:

“in the last days

critical times hard to deal with
will be here.

For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal,

having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness,

betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God,

having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power;

and from these turn away.”

Isn’t this what we see?… Narcissism in overload.
Goaded on by the ‘father of the lie’.
Ancient, even his history.

Christ decried the religious leaders
of his day saying:

“You are from your father the Devil,
(His once spiritual brother)

and you wish to do the desires of your father.

That one was a murderer
when he began, (his worship to expand)

and he did not stand fast in the truth,
because truth is not in him.”.. Though,
His jail time… is now at hand.

However, “when he speaks the lie,
he speaks according to his own disposition,

because he is a liar
and the father of the lie.” Why dishonesty
inhabits our land… Many criminals always seeking a viable alibi.

So, the choice we must make denotes
a ‘true’ and a ‘false’ way portrayed by these two roads

to eternal death or eternal life laid:

For “narrow is the gate
and cramped the road leading off into life,”–

and few are finding it.”

Though, with his precious life in ransom for Adam’s deflection
Jesus paid… Life-for-life, perfectly the balance made.

Yet, many prove blinded by Satan’s antics and smokescreen
difficult to see through, if not guided by a light
and right in desires, as to what one should do.

Learn from our first mother. Take her as clue.

Because she believed Satan’s contradiction
of what the Creator said to her husband–
the designated ‘head’:

“Jehovah God also gave this command
to the man:

“From every tree of the garden
you may eat to satisfaction.“

What generosity given…

“But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad,
you must not eat from it,

for in the day you eat from it
you will certainly die.””

His right to limit,
as thoughtful parents do,
when teaching boundaries and limits
in protection of their children’s lives.

Letting them decide for themselves later
as maturity they develop. Then more ‘freedoms’
to ensue.

But “the serpent said (by envy fed)
to the woman (who “was deceived”)
by presumptuousness led:

“You certainly will not die.

For God knows that in the very day you eat from it,
your eyes will be opened

and you will be like God,
knowing good and bad.”

Choosing for oneself.
‘Independence’ bred when Adam followed Eve.

Did not communicate with his loving generous
Father instead.

Yes, ‘in one day’ dead. For read:

“However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones,

that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.“

“So all the days of Adam’s life amounted to 930 years, and then he died.”… Although, when he ate, in that day they started to die.

And since then ‘forever’ is mankind’s endeavor… A scientific ‘reason’ globally driven by Satan trying to ‘prove’ his case…

Not enabled with a concrete ‘justify’.

Still, “Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise,
(to wickedness erase)

as some people consider slowness,
(when difficulties we face)

but he is patient with you
because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed

(So please enter speedily this glorious race.)

For Jah “desires all to attain to repentance.”

(Before the coming end of Satan’s system,
which is a speed in pace.)

But Jehovah’s day
will come as a thief,

in which the heavens will pass away with a roar,
(Symbolic authority overhead.)

but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved,

and earth and the works in it will be exposed.”

Is that not just what we see?

Everyday unveiled criminal activity. Once thought undiscoverable… Without a trace.

That means destruction and reconstruction
is very near… So point your vision

To God’s Kingdom… Yes, look to the horizon.
To many bright and clear.

A Dawn Is Straight Ahead!

FOREVER… To the many who adhere…

Matt. 7:13, 14; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; John 8:44; Gen. 2:16, 17; 3:4, 5; 2 Pet. 3:8-10; Gen. 5:5.
