The Sinew Has Been Called To Return Poem by Robin Benton

This poem is based on Eze 37....

The Sinew Has Been Called





The sinew has been called to return....

Our many bones yearn this.

Seeking the state of completion

After Babylons and aeons of depletion

Of our mighty muscles

And ligaments,

Leaving only the skeletal figments

Of our imagination.

Alas, a creation unable to bear Armor

Honor lost,

But now found, on the grounds of Truth

The remains...

Renewed

We shall continue

Now able

To be stable enough

To enable the Angels

To adorn us

With the given Trust of Armor

Honor Returned

From the Valley Of Dry Bones

We must admit

We owned

The tribulations and the trials,

There is no denial of this...

But now, the period

Of the Jeremiad*

Is over.

We’ve been in Babylon too long

The throngs of our people

Have been overcome

With the evil

Older then medieval invention.

There is no contention

That the millennium

Is a sign.

The time

Is to repent

And be replenished

With the Power

We must wield

In the hours

To come.

The time is at hand,

The Spirit demands

That we repent.

The Angels have been sent

To see it through.

Only through the awakening

Not debating what is known

For the Throne draweth nigh

The Battle Cry is Repent and prepare

Even Antebellum Thomas Jefferson*

Was aware:

'Indeed, I tremble for my Country

When I reflect

That god is just.

That his Justice cannot sleep forever...

That considering numbers

Nature,

A revolution

Of the wheel of fortune,

An exchange of situation

Is among possible events.

That it may become probable by

Supernatural interference.

The Almighty

Has no attribute

Which can take side with us

In such a contest.'

Well, do you know the rest of the Prophetic Story?

Do you know that it would be at your behest to give glory

To the times which are at hand?

Before the Valley Of Dry Bones

Demand

The Return Of The Sinew,

So they can bear the weight

Of Armor

On that Great Day.........

Selah



*Jeremiad: a prolonged lamentation or complaint. James h. Moorhead, writig in his American Apocalypse, sees a jeremiad as a 'theological rationale for the sufferings of a chosen people.'

*Thomas Jefferson: 1743-1826 'founding father', Author of the American Declaration of Independence writes these Jeremiadic prophecies in the 'Notes on the State of Virginia'.
