"Not Ultimate" [Module#343]  (Matt. 24:23-5 etc.)

That view I heard some years ago
Quite helpful was – I did not know
Of Kingdom-layer, so danced around
Death’s obstacles there on the ground.

“Death final is”, they said, indeed,
“Not-ultimate”, which spoke to need
Of something bigger than each block
To actions mine, which others stopped.

But on the Kingdom-layer now
I’m up above where blocks allow
No passages; where death is King –
For now I’m free of everything –

Which to this day has blocked my trail;
Has threatened me, said, “We prevail,
Not you, for you’re an outside-type;”
To which I say, “You’ve got that right –

“Except I’m upside – you’re all down;
I’m on a layer, not on the ground;
Not outside-inside per your view,
But up above – you can come too –

“Except you’ve gota-wanna live
Up here, in Christ; obeisance give
To One who’s Lord of Kingdom-layer,
Inviting us to be a player –

In world from different point of view;
Participate in Him – for new
All things become as we grow up,
Protected from existence rough.

Lord, thanks for opening up the door
To all who wish for something more
Than same-old-same-old way of life
Amidst the world’s unending strife.

Thanks Lord for this.
