It Was 5: 06 P.M., When Joshua Came Into A City Nearby. There Were Merchants He Noticed Laboring Slavishly... By Joshua Aaron Guillory Poem by Joshua Aaron Guillory

It was 5: 06 P.M., when Joshua came into a city nearby. There were merchants he noticed laboring slavishly. A multitude of people cried out, Isn't this the supposed Messiah? He looks like a clown, one of them said; another, sadistically, that the joke is him.

Politely, Joshua replied, You all live like slaves. And I am nevertheless free.

A person among the crowd shouted, How do you mean that we are slaves, and that you are free?

Joshua responded righteously: You are slaves to fame; you are slaves to propriety; you are slaves to men; and you are slaves to money. I, on the other hand, am obedient to GOD always.

Then took he two number sevens from the ground, and said unto them, take these, and add them up, for your dead works and goals of vanity.

Then from the Bible, Joshua the High Priest, poured out Mark 7: 7, and said to them, drink this, and so shall ye be awakened.

And while they were drinking, Joshua laughed.
This angered some from the multitude. And, that he might be accused of evil, and proven false, cunningly they stated unto him, Where in the Scriptures can you show that you have the right to do this to us?

He poured more verses out of the Bible, making their strong drink even stronger. And thus he gave them, Psalm 2: 4, Psalm 27: 4-6, and Proverbs 31: 6, mixing it together. And he said unto them: Trust in GOD: for in him is gain, life, and magic. By him shall you overcome hell and death.

Then took he the two sevens, which he had given unto them; and putting them together, proclaimed, Trust in Christ, for he is our power and strength. Eat the fruits of truth and you will live forever. Dispense with the mense of men, and join me in the will of GOD.
