The Christ Child born in Bethlehem, in Israel would bring to them, <br />Peace and Hope upon the earth, through our Lord’s special birth; <br />The virgin birth was God’s sign, that this baby was indeed divine, <br />And prophecies He would fulfill, through that tiny nation of Israel. <br /> <br />That Child would become a man, and carry out The Father’s Plan, <br />To save His people from their sin, all of those, who’d turn to Him. <br />The son given to Mary and Joseph, that carpenter from Nazareth, <br />Where it was even said by some, what good from it could come? <br /> <br />So that nation would then reject, The Savior sent for God’s Elect, <br />By turning away from God’s Will, as a whole, the Nation of Israel, <br />Ignoring what Isaiah prophesied, their Savior sent, they despised, <br />So The God of Israel would turn to, Gentiles such as me and you. <br /> <br />And that is where we are today, far from that baby laid in the hay, <br />Now seated at God’s Right Hand, His Salvation is for every land; <br />As believers throughout the world, are sent forth to be His herald, <br />Before He comes back to fulfill, God’s promises to chosen Israel. <br /> <br />When He’ll be sent back by God, to rule all earth with an Iron Rod, <br />As Christ reigns from Jerusalem, over all nations for a Millennium, <br />This after Christ returns in Majesty, and every eye in Israel will see, <br />The Lord and God of every nation, Israel’s long awaited Salvation. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©12/2009)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-that-child/
