VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Brothers By And In Sin!

Balaam And Judas
Were Neither Brothers
Nor Twins
But They Surely Were
For They Are Connected
By The Same Sin!

They Both Knew God!
They Both Had In Their Hand
Great Light
AND
By Greed For Gain
- Spiritual Dishonesty -
They Suffered The Same Fate
- Separation From Life -
By Ignominious Death
AND
Eternal Separation To Come
In The Great Day
Because
Cherished Sin
In Their Hearts
In Their Lives
Caused Satan The Arch-Fiend
To Overmaster Them!

They Walked Not Uprightly!
They Worked Not Righteousness!
They Spoke Not Truth In Their Own Hearts
AND
They Did Not The Living God Bless

This Must Be Confessed!

They Did Evil To Their Neighbor!
They Took Reward Against The Innocent!
They Did Not Fear The Eternal God!
They Loved Riches
AND

They Did Not Get Repair Stitches
For Their Bodies Have Long Since
In Their Graves Been Cold!
Old!

They Swore Not To Their Own Hurt!
They Chose To Hurt Others!
They Changed
How They Changed
Choosing Temporal Prosperity
Unto To Which To Cling
Forgetting That
Temporal Life Is Temporary
AND
That Man Cannot Thwart God

AND
Forgetting
That The Wages Of Sin Is Death
That Sin Is Its Own Reward
Compliments Of The Known Fraud!

Balaam ... Known Prophet Of God
Judas ... Known Close Disciple Of The Lord Christ
So Near To God
Yet So Very Far
Had The Bone In Their Hand
BUT
Released It
For The Larger Shadow
Magnified
By The Lens Of Evil
Held
By The Hand Of Satan
Motivated
By Pure Malice
Laid Out
On A Silvered Chalice!

Greed
For Gain
Always Ever Brings Pain
Preceded By Shame
AND 
Leaves The Greedy One
Perfectly Slain!

Gain! 

Shame!
Pain! 

Slain!
Be Ye Warned, Brother And Sisters
Do Not By Greed
The Innocent Disclaim
Nor The Name 

Of The God Of Heaven And Earth Profane
For
In So Doing
You Shall Never, Ever, Ever
The Heights Of Heaven Gain
AND

That Will Be
The 

- Your -

Eternal Shame!

WISDOM: Sinning Is No Delight!

He Who Made Us
Will Show Us No Mercy
AND
He Who Formed Us
Will Show Us No Favor
AND
All This Will Happen
In The Raining Down Of The Seven Last Plagues
If We Don't Choose In Advance
To Give Jesus Christ
In Our Hearts
Pride Of Place!

Mercy Is Currently Available
AND
Grace Is Still Available, Too
BUT
In The Day That Christ's Intercession
For Mankind Does Cease
All Self-Appointed
For Damnation
Will Not Be Singing Gleefully!

Now Is The Accepted Time!
Now Is The Day Of Grace!
Now Is The Time To Accept Salvation
AND
Now Is The Time To Tell Satan
Get Out Of Your Face!

Tomorrow Is Not To Man Promised!
Tomorrow's Sun May Never Rise!
Tomorrow's Grass Must Grow Today
AND
We Can't Go To Glory Tomorrow
If We Don't Do Today
The Will Of The Risen Reigning Christ!

By Wisdom
Build Your House On The Rock!
By Understanding Let Your Faith Be Established!
By Knowledge
Fill Your Heart With Prized And Precious Promises
AND
With Conviction
Hold To Him Who Your Condemnation
On That Vile Cross Took
As Does Says That Holy Good Book!

No Man
Can Serve God AND The Devil!
No Man
Can Be A Good Christian AND A Crook!
No Man
Can Take The Prerogatives
Of God Unto Himself
AND
Expect The Almighty God To Say:

Welcome, Friend!

Welcome, Good Servant Of Mine!

You For Me Did Your Very Best

So Enter My Joy

And Rest

With My Blessed!

We May Act AND Walk Holy
In Our Very Own Sight!
We May Walk Holy In The Day
AND
Play With Satan In Close Quarters
AND
In The Dark Of The Night!
We May Pretend To Ourselves
That Constant Sinning Is A Fine Delight
BUT
In God's Holy Sight
We Are Headed For Permanent Separation
From God
Into Eternal Night
Never To Enjoy 
The Glorious Son's Living Light!

That Is A Crying Shame!

God Is Good!
God Is Great!
Get Ready Now!
It Is Not Yet Too Late!
Please Commit Your Way
To Jesus Christ Our Savior
Before Offers Of Mercy Cease
AND
Heaven As A Scroll Rolls Back
AND
The Faithful Living
AND
The Risen Faithful Rise Up To Glory
In Peace And Joy
To With The Conquering King
Forever Be!

Clocks Run Forward!

Clocks Don't Turn Back!

Satan Is The Liar

AND

Will Any Human Attack

So

Protect Yourself

By Walking With The Living God!
