A 'New Teaching'. . .?
A 'New Teaching'. . .? Paul had "grounds
for confidence in the flesh"--A Pharisee
of the Tribe of Benjamin, no less:
Fearless, able warriors
who fought like wolves to defend
then--Jehovah's people
when
Jah had representatives
on an 'earthly' throne.
But now--
No longer to 'Jews'
only
salvation belongs:
"And I will give wonders
in the heavens and on the earth,
Blood and fire and columns of smoke.
The sun will be turned into darkness
and the moon into blood
Before the coming
of the great and awe-inspiring day of Jehovah."
Millions more than eight
as in Noah's flood...
"And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah
will be saved."
For Christ was ransomed;
an opportunity for the world
His Father's love gave:
"After this I saw, and look!
a great crowd,
which no man was able to number,
out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues".
'Chosen' ones to heaven singing a new song
as well survivors onto an earth cleansed
forever of 'falsehoods' strong rung...
Listen up
as a bell does toll for a hypocritical some
as asked of 'once' Saul
Who faithful apostle 'Paul'
did suddenly become:
“Saul, Saul,
why are you persecuting me?”
And Saul said
“Who are you, sir?”
As asked by many today...
Then The Christ replied:
“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting."
After being resurrected by God
when religious leaders 'Christ' did knowingly slay...
"But stand up and go into the city,
and you will be told what you must do.”
Jesus did imply: Do not delay
At this a blinded Saul
obedient, did comply...
Left a way of life that he once felt was 'true'...
Then zealously taught the 'truth'
to many, like 'Caesar', he did earnestly relay it to...
Though frightened Hananiah first asked of Jesus
why?
this man was chosen
when under his authority
many 'Christians' did die...
“Go, because this man is the instrument
of my choice to carry my name
before nations and kings... for I will let him know
how much" he too must suffer
without further 'cause' for guilt or shame...
"So he (Paul)
began to reason
in the synagogue
with the Jews and the other people
who worshipped God
and every day in the marketplace
with those who happened to be on hand."
Yes, then too
was a 'harvest' season...
It was thus there
when philosophers and other Gentiles
who viewed Paul’s message
as a “new teaching”,
upon them he ran:
“What is it this chatterer would like to tell?”
Others propelled:
“He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities.”
To the Pharisees outright treason...
"So they took hold of him
and led him to the Ar·e·opʹa·gus, saying:
“Can we get to know what this new teaching is that you are speaking about?"
From their previous beliefs necessarily straying...
"For you are introducing some things
that are strange to our ears,
and we want to know what these things mean.”"
They wanted clear 'answers' to hear
Like:
What is the 'Day of Jehovah'?
And how will it
all wickedness from the earth
expel?
Answers desired by 'Christians' and 'heathens'...
