Poem From "Apocalypse"

I decided to share a poem from my up-coming poetry book "Apocalypse" while I am working on a new post that will blow christianity out of the water. It was a great eye-opening-revelation spoken by the Bible teacher Myles Munroe that lead me to the Bible searching out about the Kingdom Of Heaven, and I have found out that what he was saying was right! And it answers a lot of questions I had concerning the end times. So, without further ado, here's a poem from my poetry book that I'm currently writing, "Apocalypse".

The poem is about the game Christians like to play by saying that everything bad that happens to them is done by satan. Many times bad things happen to Christians because of their own mouths permitting it to. Satan hasn't got the power to touch us until we unjustly open our mouths and speak---then we're fair game. I also refer to Christians (mainly Pentecostals) who claim they loose their salvation every time they do something wrong, or fall short---this of course is un-Biblical.

9mm: The Way Of The Conformist
©2007 Daniel D. Scenters

Just another day,
I bowed down to pray then hit the street.
All was going well,
Then suddenly I fell—hit concrete.
‘Curse that ol’ devil!’
‘His plan made me stumble, cursed be him!’
I looked down at my feet,
My laces weren’t neat, the chances slim.
‘A coincidence!’
I said, suspense gave adrenaline.
My heart pumped heavy,
And I felt filthy, as in sin.
‘I must be in death!’
I said under my breath—felt faintly.
My salvation gone,
Dead before dawn—I’ll burn intently.
For this he told me,
I’m guilty for letting this happen.
Repent, crucify,
So when I die, I won’t die in sin.

Updates On "Apocalypse"

Progress is looking good on the production of this book. Not only have I wrote more poems for the book, but I have started work on the commentary. Here's a sample of the commentary that will be in the book.

Fools Of The World:
This is a poem reflecting on the Scripture in Matthew where Y’shua (Jesus) told His diciples that at the end of our age—just before His return, the people would be just like they were in the days of Noah—before the flood.

Tribluational Church:
This poem is about the Church (Body of Mashiach) being here during the tribulation—which I believe is already here.

New Poems I've Written
These are the newer poems I've written for "Apocalypse" recently: "Ten Bridesmaids"; "9mm: The Way Of The Conformist"; "Fireless Hell"; "Justice Served"; "Ten Thousand Deaths".

New Art Work Cover

I just finished the new art work for my poetry book "Apocalypse". I am extremely satisfied more with this piece than the previous.
The cover was not only inspired by my art (poetry), but also some of the cover art of my favorite musician's CDs.

Mark Of The Frail: Spoken Word MP3

I just finished recording, and uploaded, "Mark Of The Frail" poem of mine as a spoken word piece. If you are into the spoken word movement go check it out at my MySpace profile. Just click on this post's headline (it is a clickable link) to go to my MySpace page.

"Apocalypse" & Signs Of The Times

"Apocalypse"
So far progress on "Apocalypse" is going great. I have written some new poems which make the total count 7, and I plan to start writing a new one very shortly. The new pieces are: "Orders Of Chaos", "The System Of The Anti-Christ", "Mark Of The Frail", and "Signs Of The Times". Of all the poem books I've put together in the past, I don't think I've ever felt as strong---passionate if you will, as I do with this book. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the work I've written in the past five years, but there is just something about this book that hits home more with me than the others. It is hard to explain why.

I have been thinking of re-designing the cover from the one I've already designed (see my post "Apocalypse" to see original cover). The new one I'm working on has an opened book, lineless, with a poem ("Mark Of The Frail") I wrote while designing the cover. There will be more to the cover than I explained here. I hope to have a picture to upload within the next following days.

Signs Of The Times
No, this hasn't anything to do with the poem I wrote. It has to do with what is going on in the world---the signs of the times that are lingering before our eyes---the signs of His return.
The other day, as I watched the news, the reporter came on the air with a breaking story---hundred of birds suddenly fell dead from the sky, in Austin, Texas. Tonight I was just notified that the same occurrence had happened in Australia as well. They ran tests on the birds but found no reason for cause of death. Here's what one online news (ANI) place reported:

'London, Jan.11 (ANI): Two towns, in two separate continents, have reported the mysterious dropping of thousands of dead birds out of the sky.

Baffled wildlife officials were quoted by the Daily Mail as saying that three weeks ago thousands of crows, pigeons, wattles and honeyeaters fell out of the sky in Esperance, Western Australia. Last week, dozens of grackles, sparrows and pigeons dropped dead on two streets in Austin, Texas.

Veterinarians in both countries have been unable to establish a cause of death - despite carrying out a large number of autopsies on the birds.' Yahoo News Article

Coincidence? I certainly think not. Y'shua (Jesus) said that certain things would be occurring during the time of His return, and to be watchful of the signs. Those signs are: 'for many would come in My name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah'.' --- Matthew 24:5 'wars and rumors of wars' --- Matthew 24:6 'Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom' --- Matthew 24:7 'famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world.' --- Matthew 24:7

There are more listed throughout the 24th chapter of Matthew. But it doesn't stop there. Also reported in the news three schools here in the United States will start making students be fingerprinted in order to buy anything to eat---sound familiar? I'm not saying that this is the mark of the beast, but is a forerunner to it. It's trying to be passed off as something good, something that'll speed up the process, but you must be scanned to even buy food, or you'll not have nothing to eat.

'Beginning this month, children at the schools in the Santa Barbara area will press an index finger to a scanner when they buy food at the cafeteria. The scan calls up the student's name and I-D, teacher's name and how much the student owes.' Kron Global

This isn't just happening in the United States, it's also happening in Ireland, too. The one in Ireland claim they're using it 'to make sure kids don't skip class.' The Inquirer; a school in Briton is also using this system. Sure, it all seems harmless and good, for now. But when the rest of life goes to it and you can't buy or sell without it, then that's where it becomes a problem.

'Then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing him must die. He required everyone---small and great, rich and poor, free and slave---to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.' --- Revelation 13:15-18, New Living Translation

Again. Coincidence? I think not.

More Thoughts on "Apocalypse"

I wanted to go a little bit deeper into the writing behind this current book so people will understand it more, instead of just thinking that I'm running off at the mouth. Unlike all of my other poetry books I've written in the past, including the one I just finished, "Apocalypse" is not hybridly written---meaning half of the poems are Spirit inspired and half is of my own mind and will. "Apocalypse" is written entirely by the Spirit, through me. None of the poems that will grace the pages will be me ranting my own opinions and personal beliefs. When it comes to the Spirit, such things (opinions and personal beliefs) become obsolete, and the only thing that is important is remaining honest and true about what He tells you to write, and writing it. This is the nature that will lace "Apocalypse"; a nature that I am proud to say that He entrusted me with to write down to tell others about.

I am proud to say that Yahweh is my God, and that there is no other God besides Y'shua---the Messiah! Nor no other God than His Spirit---Ruach Ha Kodesh!

Apocalypse

I have finished writing poems for my thirteenth poetry book I have written. I wasn't sure what would be in-store for the next---my fourteenth self-published book of poetry. It wasn't until yesterday morning that God showed me. My dad had a preacher turned on tv. The preacher was John Hagee. He was speaking at Jerry Falwell's church, about the end times---how the threat of the enemy is right here on our own soil. He really put the truth out there and made no bones about it.

Last week I guess it was, my dad told me of a prophesy that was given by another well known man in the Church world. And the man said that God told him of attacks that would be made on the United States by muslims. I believe what this man of God and Mr. Hagee have both been saying is 100% right on. It wasn't because of the words of these men that I decided the theme of my newest poetry book. I decided it not at all. I was lead by the Spirit (Ruach Ha Kodesh) to go with it, to tell the truth, to confront also widely held false doctrines within the Church.

Anyone who has read my poetry books over the last five years will know I have touched on the end times here and there---thinking it was still a good distance off from us still, but I was wrong. That is why I believe God has given me the thoughts, poems, and the go-head to start this new book of poetry which I entitled "Apocalypse". I will deal very strongly with every issue I am lead to write about. I know there is a time for soft preaching and teaching, but that's not the only kind. People need to know the truth before they end up like the people did back in Noah's day. When Noah told them of the flood coming and to repent, they mocked him and they all paid with their lives. Well such a time is coming upon us again, but this time not with water, but fire. And I will do my part in telling people of what lies down the road, and also about Jesus. Time is running short on us, shorter than we think. And this is the time where God's true followers, those loyal to Him will step-up, and those who aren't---fall by the wayside. I refuse to be one who falls by the wayside any longer.

I have already written three poems for "Apocalypse" and plan to have it finished asap.
The poems I have written so far are: "Fools Of The World", "Tribulational Church", and "We Are Jews". More will be on the way as the Spirit instructs me to write.

37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. 38 In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. 39 People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes."

Matthew 24:37-39
