WHAT IF
Have you ever thought what if?
What if God had chosen a different plan
And Adam and Eve didn't slip
The tree of knowledge stood untouched by hands.
What if the serpent didn't show up
And the first man and woman obeyed
Innocent they remained until thus,
God gave instructions to become mates.
Would Noah have to build the ark
And save his family and animals too?
Everything God created was left unmarked
What would the destiny be for me and you?
What if the Isrealites and descendants
Had remained faithful to worship God
There wasn't any laws or ten commandments
Everyone lived in harmony as they trod.
Would God be bored of this perfect place
Where nothing bad ever happened?
Or do you think He would begin to retrace,
And determine a new plan of action?
Of course we know, this is a farse
The Creator of everything knew best
It began before creation, when Lucifer would start
To take over the Deity, who made him blessed.
He was the most beautiful of the angel band
Was selected by God to be the angelic leader
But his ego caused him to fall and not stand
So cast down by God and one third more defeated.
Even before the creation, God knew HIS PLAN
The Ultimate Plan for man and the elements too.
So in the beginning as we have learned from His word.
Creation was put in place exactly as we have heard.
The Bible is the proof of all things that were
And all things that are to come
One who was Lucifer is still roaming around
His name is Satan, and to earth he is bound.
But with the gift of God's grace so profound
The sacrifice that was given for us to live.
Satan has no power to cast us down,
When we allow Jesus Christ our sins to forgive.

friend on Sunday, the Resurrection day)
Daniel 12: 1
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Revelation 12: 4
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth; and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Isaiah 14:12~15
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Matthew: 26:28 ~ For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed, for many for the remission of sins. 29) But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's Kingdom. |
