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'...
