POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A dictator will "make war on the saints [the Christian nations],gain power over every nation," (Revelation 13.7).This conquest implies world war. Yes, NUCLEAR war would explain "sudden destruction" at Rapture(1 Thessalonians 4.16-5.3)
America is Still Under the Curse Stemming From Slavery Days
During the Slavery era
It was against the law
To teach slaves how to read.
By keeping Blacks ignorant,
Their masters hoped to keep them
Humble, docile, self-doubtful,
Unsure of their own self-worth.
But this went against the ideals
Of the Protestant Reformation!
The great William Tyndale of the 1500s
Translated the Bible into English,
So that the common farm worker,
"the lowly plowboy" in his words,
Could read the Bible when on a break.
British America was predominantly Protestant.
Hence the...

Diamonds in The Sky At Night
When the sun is shining,
The light of the stars
Is overwhelmed,unseen,not needed.
It is when the darkness comes
That the stars can make a difference,
Adding beauty to the sky.
Likewise,it is in hard times
That we need the heroic spirit,
Shining out like stars in the night.
If in times of prosperity
You refrain from stealing,
That is relatively easy.
But if,during economic depression
When everyone is starving,
You retain your integrity,generosity,
That is quite an accomplishment,
Equal to true heroism.

Universal Collective Climax
The Sky is a Woman. who
- Her invisible legs separated, -
Stands astride the world.
At her pelvis,
Where her legs meet,
There is the sun!
Womanhood unclad,
Shining,
Shining forth,
Shining dazzlingly forth!
Oh, feel the love-heat carried by the light,
The orgasm-like solar radiance
That lasts all day long!
Imagine the thrill the Sky is feeling,
The joy of being a goddess,
Alive forevermore!
Men and women of the Earth,
Separately, privately, individually,
Thru...

The Sun As A Golden Fox
Invisible except for their white manes,
The winds high in the sky are ephemeral horses
galloping across the boundless blue.
Like spirited horses on a fox hunt in Britain,
The Westward winds blow as though
In full pursuit of their golden prey.
The sun, like a fox that has evaded its foes,
has gone on ahead.

America In EndTime Bible Prophecy
America doesn't show up in Bible Prophecy,
At least not directly.
But we CAN find America in Bible Prophecy
If we're willing to use a proxy!
You see America has been "married"
to Western Europe since 1945.
That's when NATO began,
(The North Atlantic Treaty Organization).
So the question to ask is this,
Where is Western Europe in Bible Prophecy?!
Once we find out what happens
to Western Europe in the EndTime,
This fills us in about the USA as well!
Bad News concerning...

How Evolution Explains "Original Sin"
The Apostle Paul writes,
"By one man [Adam] sin entered the world,
And death thru sin"(Romans 5.12).
Supposedly we inherit sinfulness from Adam.
Evolution says something similar:
We inherit animality from our forebears,
Namely all the animals:fish,reptiles,mammals
That helped create our bloodline, our DNA.
While Paul goes back to the original man,
Science and Evolution goes back still further.
But the Bible and Evolution agree on this much:
Our sinful nature is INHERITED!
My point is that our urges are...

Understanding the Origin of Homosexuality
First, the short version,
Then the longer one.
Who is the first male that
a male homosexual has sex with?
Himself,yes, himself.
So homosexuality starts with masturbation,
Masturbation of a certain narcissistic kind.
Now the natural tendency when masturbating,
Is to try to maximize your pleasure,of course.
During masturbation,if you abandon all restraint,
You eventually envision oral sex(OS) with yourself.
But that is impossible, for you can't reach it.

How to Account for the "ENDLESS GENEALOGIES" in Genesis 5 and 11
We read that "All the days that Adam lived
Were 930 years.."(Genesis 5.5).
Then his son Seth lived "912 years.."(Gen. 5.8).
Then Enosh, Seth's son, lived "905 years"(Gen. 5.11).
Finally, Methuselah lived the longest: "969 years"(Gen. 5.27).
As truth-seeking Christians, are we to take
this too-good-to-be-true genealogical record seriously?!
Fortunately, the Apostle Paul comes to the rescue.
He says,"Don't occupy [yourselves] with..ENDLESS GENEALOGIES
that promote speculations rather than the divine training
that is known by faith"(1...

What is the Test of a True Christian?
Christ said "If you want to be my desciple,
You must take up your cross and follow Me"
(Matthew 16.24;Mark 8.34),
Dying a martyr's death like I have done.
Crucifixion was a punishment
handed out by the (Roman)government
For breaking the law.
Actually the cross was the penalty
to just the two gravest offenses,
(1)insurrection, ie rebellion (treason), and
(2)runaway slaves.
So why was Christ crucified?
Because the Jewish GOVERNMENT under Rome,
- yes, the Jewish religious leaders were the GOVERNMENT - ...

Looking At Adam and Eve Anthropologically!
Lets peel off the top layers of the story(Genesis 2-3)
As though we were dealing with an onion.
Forget Adam as the first man.
For 6,000 years ago is too short!
If we think of Adam as a CONFLATING of
(1)man at the very beginning and
(2) man at the dawn of civilization,
We can discount (1) but hold onto (2).
Besides being presented as the first man,
Adam is also given as the first farmer,
Man at the dawn of the Agricultural Revolution,
Man at the start of Civilization.
For we read that,
"God sent him forth from...

The Prophetic Meaning Of The Setting Sun
See the proud sun at noon,
Burning gloriously like the lamp
Held aloft by the hand
Of the Statue of Liberty,
Burning as if with Freedom's own flame.
But at the end of the day,
The sun is setting on the Western horizon.
Fiery orange mixing with blood-redness,
Fire and blood can mean only one thing -
A fiery bloodbath lies ahead!
(The fire would stand for nuclear war;
The blood stands for the bloodshed,
the mass destruction of 150 million American lives). ...
