HOLY MYRIADS

    XII

Jude 14

Terror will be for sinners:
Triumph will be for God's remnant:
"Behold the Lord has come
Amid his holy myriads".

Revelation 19: 14

Christ will come out in majesty
To exercise alone His judgement
But with this entourage
"The armies which are in the heaven".

Daniel 7: 27

And in a scene secured
By the work of divine wrath
Judgement will be given to
"The saints of the most high places".

POSSESSION

XI

1 Peter 2: 9

Where all had been waste
And empty God has secured
For His heart's satisfaction
"A people for a possession".

Amongst the races of men
Diverted to their diverse
Cultures God can see
"A chosen race".

Where there were undignified
Priesthoods and unsanctified
Kingships He has for His
Delight "a kingly priesthood".

"MY ASSEMBLY"

X

Matthew 16: 18

With what joy the Lord,
Seeing its elements,
Foreseeing its formation,
Could say "my assembly"!

Matthew 13: 46

He has it now,
And what His joy
- Such that He gave all -
In "one pearl of great value".

Revelation 21: 10

And she will come down
In all her holy dignity,
To Influence all for Him,
As "the holy city, Jerusalem".

GOD'S HOUSE

    IX

1 Tim 3: 15

What it is for God
That he has acquired
What is morally suitable
To be "God's house"!

Psalm 27: 4

How grand to gather
To the the beauty of
The Lord, to enquire of Him
In His temple!

Hebrews 8: 2

And He has now for Himself
Under the guidance of
The Minister of the Holy Places
The service of the sanctuary.

CHILDREN

VIII

Hebrews 2: 13

What signs and wonders
- Along with Him - those
He calls "the children
Whom God has given me".

1 John 3: 1

What liberty and glory
Attaches to those whom
God has delighted to name
"The children of God".

Romans 8 17

What an inheritance
Belongs to them - "if children,
Heirs also: heirs of god
And Christ's joint-heirs.

HEBREWS 2

VII

Hebrews 2: 11

He is the Sanctifier
But it has been His pleasure
To secure for Himself and for
God "those sanctified"

Hebrews 2: 12

Amid this company
He has liberty - to release
Divine secrets, "I will declare
Thy name to my brethren".

Hebrews 2: 12

What it means to Him
To be free in praise,
Singing to the Father
"In the midst of the assembly".

THOSE ...

VI

John 17: 9

When the Lord Jesus spoke
To the Father - what
Was in His mind? "Those
Whom thou has given me".

2 Timothy 2: 19

As the Lord looks on a scene
Of decadence, claims to,
Or on His name, He recognises
"Those that are His".

2 Timothy 2: 22

And what delight for Him to
See in their joint pursuits
"Those that call upon the Lord
Out of a pure heart".
