A Messianic Poem

Whilst looking for a Star of David to wear for a necklace I was on an Israeli site and I saw a symbol which I had never seen before. It is called the messianic seal. Now I love the star of David and I am getting one of them as well as this seal, but the new symbol was even more symbolic of my faith.

It was a menorah and a fish and the bottom of the menorah and the tail of the fish intertwined to become the star of David. Well I just loved that because it shows that the heritage of a believer doesn't just start with Jesus life on earth but that Jesus was there in the beginning and through the time of Moses getting the Ten Commandments and the Tabernacle in the wilderness. Then unto King David which God ordained and then to Jesus death and triumphant resurrection over death. All the while showing that God was in control of everything.

On reflection of this I decided to write a poem about it. So here it is.

The Messianic Seal

I was learning about dear Israel,
And a seal which they had found,
Painted on a darkened wall,
In a cave beneath the ground.

It was written in a golden hue,
With three distinctive parts,
And as I continued reading I found,
It was something dear to my heart.

The top was a menorah,
An age old Hebrew sign,
And it symbolised the tabernacle,
During Moses' time.

The middle sign was intertwined,
Between the first and last,
Making the star of King David's shield,
From battles in the past.

The last bit was a little fish ,
And the best part, that I knew,
For it showed the love of God's Son,
Who died to save me and you.

And all these represented,
A lineage of belief,
In Jesus the Messiah who,
From your sin gives you relief.

New year, new start

Ok so it's a new year and since I never did much on the blog last year it'll be a new start and I really want to put a lot more on the blog from now on.

To start with I wrote a poem and I want to share it with you all. It's about my faith.

I pledge allegiance to the Lord
The saviour enthroned on high
My rock, my shield, my guiding light
He is my battle cry.

He loves me like a newborn babe,
So helpless and so weak
And gives me strength to carry on,
Each day until we meet.

So I will follow Christ my Lord,
And worship Him on high
I'll tell about His wondrous love
And His mansion in the sky.

I'll tell of all the things He did
The miracles so grand,
And all the parables He told
Whilst in the promised land

I'll tell of everywhere He went,
So many years before
And think of how they've changed today
Along that distant shore.

I'll tell of how He died
At the hands of the unjust
And all this was for me
If only I should trust.

I'll tell of how He rose again
On that glorious third day
And how He conquered death for all
Who follow in His way

So I pledge allegiance to the Lord
And tell what He did for me
For I have been completely change
And from my sin set free.

I like writing poetry whenever it comes to mind so I'll be putting more online from now on.

Amazing Bible Fact 1

Here is an amazing Bible fact and it has a perfect outcome.

The shortest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 117.
The longest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 119.
The centre chapter of the Bible is Psalm 118. (With me so far?)
On either side of the centre chapter there are 594 chapters and if you add the two sides together you get 594 + 594 = 1188.
(Now for the final bit)

The centre verse of the Bible is Psalm 118v8 (look familiar?)
