A Testament Against the World: The Lord's Rebuke
lyrics
THE CUP OF THE WRATH OF MY FURY IS COME TO THE FULL Section Nine: THEY DO NOT KNOW ME!
10/7/11 From The Lord, Our God and Savior
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
Thus says The Lord: Behold, My own people flee from the Word of My mouth; look how they run from My every proclamation! I can not speak to them, for they do always resist Me, nor do they seek Me in truth! Lo, they fight against Me by their every word and deed! THEY DO NOT KNOW ME!
For the sake of pretense, they draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, yet their hearts are far from Me! I AM EXCEEDINGLY REMOVED! They do not think about Me, nor do I dwell in their thoughts; I am purged from their consciences!
They have not pondered My Law as David, nor have they mourned like Daniel. They have turned from Me, and the Way of The Lord they have not known, adding to and taking away from My Commandments, ignoring My every decree.
Thus I have opened My mouth in correction and raised My voice in strong rebuke. Yet they cast off My words spoken to this generation, and want no part with Me as I truly am. Behold, I have become as a foreigner to them, of a tongue which they do not understand! INDEED, THEY REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND!
Yet in My mercy I have spoken to them in their own language, with brevity, using few figures of speech, that they might repent and return to Me, and walk again in the first works while not at all ignoring the latter, that they might heed My voice and come out. Yet they will not give heed, nor will they come out; they will not repent.
Indeed they refuse to return, nor will they walk in the Way of The Lord. For when I speak, they think Me too harsh, claiming My words to be overtones of a forgotten past.
They refuse My teaching, saying it is too hard and does not fit with their established doctrine. Indeed, they despise My food and will not eat from My plate, and want nothing to do with My table... REGURGITATED FOOD IS THEIR DELIGHT, AND DISEASED DOCTRINE THE ONLY ACCEPTED PLATE! For they have grown accustomed to their own filthy table!
Behold, their forefathers call out to them
From the grave; their wicked cause continues!
In the faces of their descendants it is clearly seen,
And upon their lips the blasphemy of their
Forefathers is clearly heard, even to this day!...
And so they persecute Me in their deceitful courts,
And place Me on trial because of My words!...
Lo, they deny The Truth and put
The Author of Life to an open shame!...
