TO ALL IN THE LAND !!



AS  I  APPROACHED  THE  CHURCH  ALTAR  BEFORE  I  KNELT  DOWN,
I  SAW  IN  A  VISION  A  THORN  WOVEN  CROWN.
BUT  BEFORE  I  COULD  SAY  THANK  YOU  DEAR  LORD,
I  SAW  THE  SLAIN  LAMB  THAT  I  SO  LONG  ADORED.
BUT  ALMOST  IMMEDIATELY  I  SAW  ON  MOUNT  ZION,
A  FUTURISTIC  VIEW  OF  A  FIERCE  ROARING  LION.
EVERYONE  IN  THE  LAND  WAS  COMPLETELY  APPALLED,
AND  THEN  THE  VOICE  OF  THE  SPIRIT  SAID  THIS  IS  THE
MINISTRY  TO  WHICH  YOU'VE      BEEN  CALLED.
YOU  WILL  NO  DOUBT  BE  RIDICULED  AND  MOCKED  AS  WELL,
BUT  YOU  MUST  PREACH  JUDGEMENT  DAMNATION  AND AS  WELL   HELL.
I  UTTERED  THANK  YOU  DEAR  GOD  FOR  THIS  GREAT  COMMAND,
GODS  SPIRIT  THEN  SAID  IF  YOU  FAIL  IN  YOUR  DUTIES  YOU'LL
HAVE  BLOOD  ON  YOUR  HANDS.
