Independence

Genesis 7:11 

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month—on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.

 

Independence

 

One day when the Eternal hesitated

and time as we know it … encircled “now”

Temporal’s limitation moved by perception

of creation and a taste of Heaven somehow.

 

A miracle of wisdom showing God in His Glory

so we could be showered in His love.

Freedom could not handle the sphere of His Likeness

and hungered for independence from above.

 

Faded remembrance of what was yesterday

and we still ensure ourselves that we master history.

Through testing we extract into our mind’s internal

the Eternal and Temporal from time’s own mystery.

 

What really happened when Eternal froze but a moment

into what’s now temporal as forever appeared extinct?

Just for the whisper death seemed the survivor

as “life” paralleled somehow like a pen running out of ink.

 

Eternal is not measured … by the breakdown of temporal.

A week, a year or whatever we scale on how long we live.

We talk about generations and we use these as a guideline

to explain how it all started so we can comprehend this gift.

 

We search by this standard into the past of experience

as man hungers to search for what was in the past.

We guess what was before in the trend of generations

is now just guesswork and only known if in Christ we ask.

 

The bible’s: “In the beginning,” shows the start of the Temporal

and before that the Eternal that really can’t be seen.

Just past the beginning we had a great Upheaval

as in history we discovered ... that it made true ice’s 1st plea.

 

It changed the foundations that had been made “In the beginning”

and carbon tests go only back to this point right here.

It moved that protective layer from the sun’s intrusion

and Ultra-Violet rays invaded our very atmosphere.

 

So when we speak of many years, even in the millions.

It took “The great Flood” just about forty days.

Upheaval of the deep through heat and great pressures

split and cracked the earth crust in a supernatural way.

 

The uproar in the structure, of all things as they were,

formed the fossils and oil and such during this time.

So when we do our testing in today’s understanding

it cannot be compared with what was before defined.

 

We speak about millions of years testing in temporal.

It shows just imprints of man’s limits through the mind.

The issue, than remaining, is the providence of knowing

that Faith in Christ spans the bridge of “time”.

 

Just remember that outside “Beginning”

Eternal is patiently waiting for the “End of Day.

The end of the Temporal is when we leave our body

to move into forever so in Eternity to stay.
