Pegasus was just a myth,
But some "scholars" have taken it seriously,
They mount astride the backs of horses,
While exalting themselves so imperiously.

They perceive themselves in flight,
Disdaining those more scripturally-founded,
And on wings of horses they thunder aloud,
Leaving those on the ground astounded.

They try to deceive you with their theories,
Conjectured suppositions ramble on,
The Word is twisted to fit their paradigm,
Claiming that dusk is really dawn.

They don’t care much for Imminence,
Winning their argument is all that matters,
Truth and reason are unnecessary encumbrances,
Solid doctrine should be left in tatters.

The Blessed Hope has become irrelevant,
The wings of horses have lifted them higher,
There is no need to take any comfort,
In a Rapture for which only the ignorant aspire.

But I read the Bible so differently,
The Lord promised to keep us from His Wrath,
I don’t need to fly around on Pegasus,
When I can walk The Narrow Path.

It is almost time for flight,
And a mythological horse will encounter trouble,
While the Raptured go where only eagles dare,
The stubborn will remain to dismount in rubble.

So the haughty can chase the wind,
Ascending and descending on horses regal,
I won’t be distracted by their postulations,
I’ll happily soar on the wings of an eagle.

God bless you all!

And God Bless you, Humbly.

Waiting with you for that day, when we arrive at those gates of pearl.

Hi Humbly, Here are some verses that your poem made me think of:

Psalm 147:6 The Lord lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground.

Psalm 147:10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

Psalm 147:11 The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy.

Thankfully hoping in the Lords mercy!!! God bless you Humbly

Cesca and Donna:
Yes, we will mount on the wings of eagles, escape the wrath of the Tribulation, and meet in the Strawberry Fields very soon. I can't wait!!!

Melissa:
Those are nice passages. The one that I had in my mind that stirred this poem today was from Isaiah 41:31:

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

We are WAITING; we are in need of STENGTH; we are ready to mount on the wings of eagles; we are RUNNING and are tired of running; we are WEARY and don't know how much longer we can last; and we are ready to slow down and WALK, enjoy Eternity, and not FAINT anymore.

Let us pray that the RAPTURE comes soon because we seem to be losing more souls each day (abortions, teenagers no longer under the age of protection, violent death, etc.) than we are winning.

Let us pray. Let us pray. And then let us pray.

Come quickly Lord Jesus!!!!!!!!!!

We are WAITING; we are in need of STENGTH; we are ready to mount on the wings of eagles; we are RUNNING and are tired of running; we are WEARY and don't know how much longer we can last; and we are ready to slow down and WALK, enjoy Eternity, and not FAINT anymore.

Amen, Humbly!! Praying and waiting!! Hopefuly this Spirit led poem is telling us we are out of here soon!

Yes, Melissa, hopefully it is "soon".

Unfortunately, this "soon" has seemed so very imminent for the last few years -- and yet, we are still here.

Sometimes it kind of feels like the old carrot and stick routine where just as soon as we get close it moves further away.

Again, let us pray that this roller-coaster ride is almost over.

Humbly

Humbly,
Again, your words do my heart good.

Cheryl Ann:

I am glad that the Holy Spirit moves through us to keep us sane in this time of insanity.

God bless you Sis!!

Humbly

I agree with Cheryl

You are very gifted Humbly..and you use your gift to honor God..

Thank you Sarah!

If we are here to honor anybody other than God, then we are in BIG trouble!!

We are here to reflect the LIGHT that is shined upon us even though we are unworthy to attract it. Without Jesus dying on the cross for us wretched souls, we would have no hope. But because of His Love, we will all celebrate soon at the Wedding Banquet because of Jesus Christ!!

HALLELUJAH!!!!

God bless you until then Sarah!

Humbly

SisterNChrist and Shirley:

May God bless YOU for taking the time to be such encouragers.
