A Brief Summary of Scripture
By EdwardYIrving
- 541 reads
GOD said "Let there be light, and it was good.
His poultry, running round inside their pen,
To them He said "You mustn't eat that fruit;
The Devil said they should,
Poor Eve misunderstood:
From Eden, hiding Adam's Shame, they ran.
Here comes old Abram; th'Original Jew.
Says GOD "Do kill your only son: Isaac.
An angel came just 'fore Abraham slew:
"About to follow through?!
No worse Father than you!
This ram'll do. Here have it, take a whack.
Now Moses wanted his people to flee
From Egypt land, where they had lived since yore.
"GOD will let the innocent be free.
I think we can agree,
He'll kill them all with glee,
So put some young sheep's blood upon your door.
King Solomon, renowned throughout the land,
His justice was the best of his attraction,
That brought the Queen of Sheba, gifts in hand.
Mistress of sand, and tanned,
She left in style grand,
But only aft' she got her satisfaction.
A small-known truth, that GOD played for high stake;
He MADE A BET WITH SATAN; tried His luck,
That Job would sit through pox and death and ache.
His friends said "Your mistake.
Job never said "You fake!
That didn't matter: GOD won fifty buck.
Now GOD was getting sick of all this anger
And decided to show everyone who's Boss.
A craftsman, thought he did them all a favour:
"It's really not a labour
To be nicer to your neighbour.
And where did he end up? Why, on a cross.
