LISTEN WELL

ZEPHANIAH - 2 - 3

  

Seek the Lord all you meek of the earth 

who have upheld His Justice.

Seek righteousness, seek humility.

It may be that you will be hidden

IN THE DAY OF THE LORD'S ANGER.

He stood tall and strong,

but it wouldn't be long.

He would fall just the same

as a man with no name.

It takes more than a call,

this man knew it all.

Fulfilling his need,

a personal creed.

But he fell to the ground,

helpless and bound and heard only sound.

"Why do you persecute Me little man?

I am your God - kneel while you can".

The preachers are rotten, their words profane,

control by proxy of God's Holy name.

Few remain not under the thumb,

But this pilgrim knew his Saviour had come.

He wrote his letters,

chained and fettered.

Even the simple could understand,

with one a vision, some a swipe of God's hand.

Zephaniah

1-8
And it shall be,
In the day of the LORD's sacrifice,
That I will punish the princes and the king's children.       

                  

1-11
All those who handle money are cut off.
         

1-13
They shall build houses, but not inhabit them.
          

1-17
I will bring distress upon men,
And they shall walk like blind men.
Because they have sinned against the LORD;
Their blood shall be poured out like dust.
And their flesh like refuse.
       

 1-18
Neither their silver nor gold
Shall be able to deliver them.
In the day of the Lord's Wrath; 
But the whole land shall be devoured
By the fire of His jealousy,
For He will make speedy riddance
Of all those who dwell in the land.

AND STILL HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

ROUND AND ROUND WE GO 

SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL

UNTIL..................

AND JUST MAY BE ALL GOD'S PROPHETS WILL THEN PROCLAIM: 

   duh!!! - told you so.
