THE END OF THE AGE


The End Of The Age

From the dawn of time
Man has always sought peace
But war has been the terror of his legacy
The horror of his fate
The final hours of history

For as long as man
Stands at war with his God
He will be condemned to stand at war
With himself and His seed
Behold the greatest conspiracy

For I have seen hell and the torment of the damned
In the day of evil in the dying hour
In the balance of power
And the origin of fate
Lies the sovereignty of man in the doctrine of hate

The hour of redemption is upon us
And the day of judgment will bring
The end of the dream
The end of the nightmare
The end of all the days
The end of the fighting
And the end of the rage
That lies in our mortal remains
At the end of the age

David Was No Open Theist

In light of yesterday's events:


Psalm 139
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.


1O LORD, you have searched me and known me!
2You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.

3You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.
4Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.
5You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.
7 Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?

8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
11If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,"
12 even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.
13For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.

14I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16Your eyes saw my unformed substance;in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
17How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.
19Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me!

20They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain!
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
22I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies.
23Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!

24And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!

1. God is completely omniscient. He has all knowledge of the past present and future........ therefore;
2. No one can add one second to their own life or anyone else's....... therefore;
3. No one dies before their time........ therefore;
4. No one "saves" anyone's life........ therefore;
5. Is anyone more than a little disturbed by the fact that a church feels it must have armed security........therefore;
6. It is time for the modern/post-modern church structure,i.e Herod's Temple, to be abandoned.
