A Testament Against the World: The Lord's Rebuke
lyrics
ABASEMENT - Section Four: AWAKEN FROM YOUR SLUMBER!
7/26/11 From The Lord, Our God and Savior
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
Thus says The Lord: The folly of this people is great, for they have sought to raise themselves above Me! They have no fear of God in their hearts! They mislead the penitent, as they push the sincere of heart far from Me! They hold fast to their own selfish desires, and refuse to let go of even one of their false doctrines! And as a babe clings to its mother’s breast, so also do these people among the churches of men cling to all their perverse traditions, of which I hate!
At every turn they hide their faces from Me, as they sink deeper and deeper into the mire of their fornications! Yet I remain faithful, and My Word true, says The Lord... Therefore recompense has risen up, and The Lord’s Rebuke is sent down! And with strong discipline shall I feed them, and with swift judgment shall I fill their cups! For the Day has surely come.
Did you think I had not seen it, O sons and daughters of men? Nothing escapes My sight, nor do My eyes rest when the sun sets beneath the horizon; there is no hiding place from the knowledge of The Lord. And what is man, that he should liken himself to ME?! Or the glory of man, that he should raise himself above Me?
Foolish people, Godless generation, you do not know Me at all! Nor do you have any love for the Truth, that you might really know Me! You care not to learn My ways, lest you feel obligated to walk in them! Instead you cast them off, yea you hide them under false pretenses, claiming they have passed away!... Ignorant and deceived generation, vain peoples, that which you have cast off has come to claim you, and you shall not escape, for your own words have ensnared you! Behold, that which you claim has entrapped you, and on account of all this filthy pretense are you held captive!
Therefore, thus says The Lord: CHURCHES OF MEN, AWAKEN FROM YOUR SLUMBER! Your service to Me is in vain! For you have grown very tired, and with heavy-laden eyes have you looked upon My people, closing your eyes to My Word as it really is, as anger builds within your hearts over that which I have sent to you!
Behold, with false righteousness you judge others and push out the hand! And with great arrogance you cast My words asunder, as though you were above reproach! Yet I tell you, you have mistaken pride for wisdom, and much learning for understanding. WOE TO YOU! Says The Lord. Woe to the learned! Woe to every high-minded scoffer who is wise in his own eyes! Woe to every arrogant pastor and prideful preacher! YOUR ABASEMENT IS COMING AND SHALL BE VERY SEVERE!
Behold, with a shout and with a mighty
Trumpet blast, it comes very quickly!...
And though your ears do not hear
And your eyes do not see, that which
I have declared shall surely come,
And woe to those who are left!...
For in a moment, and on a day you
Do not expect, your hearts shall be pierced
And your every false expectation struck through!...
For as the scythe cuts through the stalk,
As the sweeping blow fells many plants at once,
So shall the sharpness of realization cut to the heart
Of this people, and in that same moment the
Loftiness of many shall be brought down...
Behold, multitudes shall fall hard upon the ground!...
