Just a matter of time
Malachi 2:2 New English Translation (NET Bible)
2 If you do not listen and take seriously the need to honor my name,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will send judgment on you and turn your blessings into curses—indeed, I have already done so because you are not taking it to heart.
God is still the same. Even though the judgment is slow in coming
We know the season of Grace is still with us,
But judgment seems just around the corner …
Prosperity Preaching Satirical: Get used to it
Twisting words, changing ideas, for one’s own satisfaction
Doing what you want too, what appears good to your mind?
Then convincing others, and about everyone who is there,
that whatever you think seems good for each and every kind
The bible is always changing. It has to adapt to the times
Things are not like they once were, God will understand
As we are rearranging the meanings and the signs
For all who are here in this our “promised” land
God has to adapt to us and our way of reason
He has to be changeable while it is written: “He is not”
Why should He make a fuss and observe our treason
As compromise seems possible for His “elected-flock”
Once God made us and He formed us with His Hands
But now find Him “pliable” to our own wants and wishes
We will make Him thus to fulfill our every demand
For we know it is plausible and this is surely refreshing
A “god” for my own making who is there to please me
I’ve got it made for now and I’ll show Him what to do
No more room for faking, all blessings are now for me
All things work anyhow for the “very-elected” few
Narrow is the path so I will make it wider
Everyone can come with me to my chosen destination
Fat will be your pocketbook in the web of my spider
What will be, will be as I share the state of elevation
Yep! We’ll get it made as there are no hurdles left
Smooth sailing from now on for the ones who follow me
All have now a clean slate available for me and the bereft
Who are now in top form as they in my presence will be
There is no judgment coming for we will pass it by
I decided long ago that there is just no hell
No one left to summon for few will ever die
The only ones to know are mine as you can tell
Constant change determined to be a solid foundation
Shifting sand of thought cement the stones of our walls
A peace that we have earned girded by lack of determination
That the lie that’s bought delivers me from The Fall
All that’s now expected is for me to close my ears
The cries of the helpless are muffled by my desires
My temple resurrected in this world of my peers
We will judge the hopeless and deliver them to fire
What a mess we make but we will cover it with cream
In the appearance now made perfect girded by our blindness
It is now "give or take" for the corrupt and the mean
Who at their will select their victims with fake kindness
A little honey here or there will attract the flying masses
To be swatted and splattered at the first taste of this
Life is so cruel for the ones with the rose-colored glasses
As they are slowly fattened in camouflage and bliss
Judgment is at the doors and most these of our own making
Everyone is quiet for a moment except the sinful selected few
They bring all good to the floor to be trampled and forsaken
The greed here to flourish as directed by the hidden in the pew
Riddles of confusion dripping of their` hearts hardened walls
Formed in the past of the forgotten in their state of reprobation
Given over to the illusion that there really was no “Fall” after all
And there are none begotten through Christ’s gift of Salvation
Yep! One day we will know that there is no escaping
All will bow and kneel before the Designer and Creator
Judgment will then flow without any debating
To them with or without appeal to be judged forever
