"The Sweep"   (Nahum To Revelation)

I scanned the Scripture’s treasure trove
To test the “layers” model – dove
Right in back at old Nahum’s book,
And read to Revelation – took –

Three days or so to scan it through;
“Heard” several aspects which were new,
But need to ask if I’m off track –
I hunch I’m close, but data lack.

Lord, some books “popped” in “layers” mode;
I saw Epistles carry loads
Quite different from each other, for
The Kingdom-aspects focused more –

On aspects central to each tome,
While overall they made a home
Of Kingdom-turf (without, quite plain);
Now Scripture won’t be quite the same.

Now Revelation has a place
Of balance – way beyond the case
That’s made ’round here – that circumstance
Dictates one’s ethnic song and dance.

But that’s about all I can see;
Please help me if the “layers” be
More problem than they’re worth to spread
To others, now I’ve Scripture read.

“Stu, that’s okay; it will play out;
You’ve gained a lot, without a doubt,
But mostly it’s for other folks
Who’ve not has yet come under yoke.”

Okay, thanks Lord, I’ll let it stay
Quite loose, and let the insight play
Itself out – see who picks it up;
To me it’s  opened up so much.

Thanks Lord for this.
