Sleep In Peace

Maybe not
as a Madagascan sunset
day-flying moth,
but like a beautiful robin moth
or even a dull colored grease moth
drawn to flames
we question "why"
about the same:
Life then death?
Why brought into this game?
Why brought into this game?
British historian Arnold Toynbee wrote
as We in united consent quote:
"FROM the moment of birth
there is the constant possibility
that a human being may die
at any moment.”
This thought brings us no glee or joyful mirth!
Added he: “And inevitably
this possibility
is going to become
an accomplished fact.”
In this past century
alone,
about 100, 000, 000 people in wars died
as tragic acts, 'including millions of innocent
men, women, and children'
making us anew sadly cry out:
"Why?"
"If a man dies,
can he live again?
I will wait all the days
of my compulsory service
Until
my relief comes.
You will call, and I will answer you.
You will long for the work of your hands"
said Job, under utmost suffering
detailing the desire of the Creator to bring
dead ones back to life.
Reversing Adam's unforgivable sin.
Further promising:
"And the last enemy,
death,
is to be brought to nothing."
Just think what this means!
No more graves or funerals.
Just endless life and joyful blessings!
No more graves or funerals.
Just endless life and joyful blessings!
"In this mountain he will do away with the shroud
that is enveloping all the peoples
and the covering that is woven
over all the nations.
(groaning and moaning aloud)
He will swallow up death forever,
And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah
will wipe away the tears from all faces.
The reproach of his people
he will take away from all the earth,
For Jehovah himself has spoken it."
All the races, obedient and loyal,
will everlastingly benefit.
Until that time
when He calls their name
Sleep in peace, you victims,
as you feel no shame.
The Only Remedy!
Job 14:13-15 Isaiah 25:7,8. 1 Cor. 15:26
