From disobedience to reprobate ...
Job 36:11-12
11 If they obey and serve Him,
they live out their days in prosperity
and their years in pleasantness.
12 But if they refuse to listen,
they pass over the river of death,
and expire without knowledge.
Tumult in emotions ... and then to die in them
To be hardened in conscience and live outside all feelings
To bathe yourself in blood that you have shed through the years
And to feel clean when you come out ... after the wheeling dealing
Even in their dying ... they really cannot change
The only things that fill them ... is darkness to the core
The only light they’ll ever see ... is an Eternal fire
That will expose the rottenness ... like open sores
Yes with knowledge ... they’ll move into the hereafter
Here they had the power of Satan on their side
Mao Tse Tung, Stalin ... Hitler and Mussolini
even some Western presidents whose iniquities smelled ripe
Jan Wienen
