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
