Judgment


Genesis 6:5 

5 But the Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind had become great on the earth.

Every inclination of the thoughts of their minds was only evil all the time.

 

The flood – what about the children?

 

Enoch warned about things to come ... judgment at the door.

Preaching with conviction ... but only a few would hear.

One child carried the message ... to the next generation

As it stopped with Noah ... who confronted human fear.

 

Things are similar today more fear seems instilled

by one terrorist or sniper than by Almighty God.

One day will be the judgment and like a window wiper

the glass will be cleaned or you believe it or not.

 

The flood came and went ... nothing left but sorrow.

Noah lost everything ... brothers, family & friends

Just a few were saved ... after this global disaster

Three sons and their wives Noah understood the end.

 

Only one question remains ... “What about the children?”

Did they travel Heaven’s way ... is not such the way of God?

Hard to understand ... but even on judgment day

Mercy and Love are still there ... unchangeable is their spot.
