As we see all the troubled times upon Israel, God's chosen nation, <br />To understand these times you need to turn to His Holy Revelation. <br /> <br />Hosea said of The Lord, after two days the land He would revive, <br />And after many dormant and desolate years, the land did come alive. <br /> <br />Hosea went on to say, on the third day the land would be restored, <br />This will be fulfilled when on David's Throne they see The Lord. <br /> <br />We are not talking days of past, but of years is what you might say, <br />But with the Lord a day is thousand years, and the years are a day. <br /> <br />For The Lord God is not constrained to earthly time like you and me, <br />For God is a timeless being, from the beginning through all eternity. <br /> <br />Time throughout The Bible has been used by God in different ways, <br />For a week in some prophetic passages is years, not simply days. <br /> <br />Seventy weeks in Daniel are decreed on his people and his Holy City, <br />To do away with sin and bring everlasting righteousness and safety. <br /> <br />The final week, which is the last seven years of Daniel's revelation, <br />Jeremiah calls The Time of Jacob's Trouble, or The Great Tribulation. <br /> <br />But, Zechariah tells of when God's Grace comes to this tiny nation, <br />And they will see the one they pierced, and will accept His Salvation. <br /> <br />It's true what Peter spoke about the prophets and what they decreed, <br />Their words are made more certain today for you and I to heed. <br /> <br />(Copyright © 04/2002)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-three-days-2/
