And The Fishes of the Sea Shall Declare To Thee

Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. Job 41:7-8

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. John 19:30

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. Luke 24:27

Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 1 Peter 1:12

The Law proves to us that we cannot stand before God in our own righteousness, and that drives us to the Gospel. Martin Luther

Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. Job 42:6

The Book of Job.

A book of dread and despair

where only the aroma of burning coals swirl the air.

On a deserted isle of misery,

out in the middle of nowhere in most of Today’s Theology,

where the poor soul is weeping in silence.

In the cool of the day

of the burdened mind’s dismay,

enveloped in the damp mist of sorrow,

where every new morrow,

the lonely heart hardens

as it hears not the sound of the LORD in This winter garden.

But let the Fishes of the Sea Declare to Thee

The Victory of Our Lord, won on the Cross of Calvary

Where the poor soul, the burdened mind, the lonely hard heart

Is welcomed into the secure haven of Leviathan’s uttermost parts

Til the shadow of death passes by the stone rolled against the tomb

and Let there be Light

breaks forth

once again

from it’s womb

And we will remember the battle and the gore

and do no more

for…

It has already been finished
