O Mighty mountain
Have I brought forth the headstone

Has not the plumbline been set
Did My Father not tell you
Repent and turn from your ways

About this poem
This one came to mind after reading several passages…Amos chapter 7 is one of them…Am I the two witnesses?The two olive trees and the two lamp stands?Could it be possible that Dagesh means strong light?I guess it is just one of life’s little mysteries…
