Tale of a Messiah

He made them believe He was the real messiah The mystic leader who would take them to Zion His followers threw themselves into icy pools of water Rended their clothes in a frenzy of belief When he came out of the Sultan's home wearing a fez Only a few belivers stayed on his wavelength How long must we wait for the true messiah to reveal himself?

I also have 2 witnesses one I texted miles away and he looked up and saw, also a man I sort of dragged out of his vehicle to show.' 'he said he was taught to believe there was no God and Ihave the photos.' And I emailed photos off as well.'

Some days, it appears as though He might soon reveal Himself, Matthew? We seem to be living in a world of war, false prophets, and natural catastrophes. When and what will be the deciding moment? Definitely something to ponder.:( Keep well and please be happy! Mikki

Hi, Matt, I miss reading your poems, I just moved to Houston, it's going to take another two weeks to unpack and organize everything the way I want and like. LOL... My room is going to be the same theme. :) except I'm moving the zebra theme out into the living room. Anyways, just stopping in to say hi and read your latest poem. Hugs. LINDA

This is something to think about. I think that no one will know, until it's time. so we have to stay on the right track. Thanks for sharing. ... Lucilla

seeing they cannot precieve, hearing they cannot hear. when the rapture comes they will still be here. revieling the real messiah who was already here.

Many false prophets will make themselves known before the real ones show up. Cults and such always held a small amount of fascination for me... just what drives people to follow such ridiculous notions? Cool story!

Great write, Matthew! I do believe, those who want to will be led to Zion by Jesus Christ, the only Messiah. God himself, through His Holy Spirit, will tell everyone of us who listen to Him, who the Messiah is, when He comes to reign over us and prepare us for the Kingdom of His Father. Amen. Blessings, Hanitra

makes me curious to know who this one was! What's a fez? by the way, I don't like golf . I think it is a big bore but if I were ever single again, I think it would be a sport worth taking up. haha

I shall put your mind at rest Andrea.. A fez is the small hat with a tassell such as morroco mole used to wear..hey' maybe this write is about him..!
