You walk the shadows where light does not reach
Hiding behind names and deceiving with each step
Who are you today?
Lucifer or The Lawless One?

You haunt the corners where purity shrinks and recedes
Each poisoned step is soaked in your treachery
Who are you today?
The Antichrist or Satan?

"Number of the beast six hundred and sixty six
Seven heads all two-faced with ten horns
Serpents slither upon the crown he adorns

The mark of the beast numbered six six six
Ten horns upon seven two-faced heads
Crowned Prince of Darkness by those long dead"

You stalk the shadows that light cannot touch
Hiding within your cloak of malice and sinister intent
Who are you today?
The Devil or Father Of Lies?

You walk the corners where evil and darkness breeds
Casting death and disease with the flick of a wrist
Who are you today?
Abaddon, Tempter or Thief?

'Ring out the seven trumpets
Shake the world from within
Bring the earthquakes to the world of sin
Unleash the lightning and thunders of doom
The moment of choice is soon
As prophesised in the Book of Revelation
It is finally time for The Great Tribulation'

You have intelligently written what the scripture had earlier revealed that would take place on this earth. The book of revelation is a very terrible book that would instil fear to all Christians all over the world. This poem bravely pointed accusing finger on the face of the devil (the lucifer)!

The first beast comes "out of the sea" and is given authority and power by the dragon. This first beast is initially mentioned in Revelation 11:7 as coming out of the abyss. His appearance is described in detail in Revelation 13:1–10, and some of the mystery behind his appearance is revealed in Revelation 17:7–18.

The second beast comes "out of the earth" and directs all peoples of the earth to worship the first beast. The second beast is associated with Revelation 13:11–18 the false prophet.

The two beasts are aligned with the dragon in opposition to God. They persecute the "saints" and those who do "not worship the image of the beast [of the sea]" and influence the kings of the earth to gather for the battle of Armageddon. The two beasts are defeated by Christ and are thrown into the lake of fire mentioned in Revelation 19:18–20.

Fiercely written with a comprehensive expositions.

Excellent!

...time to waste on the nonsense & population control of the weak known as religion.

This is a metaphor...you can decide which monumental lie this relates too.

I do however know he Bible. I was raised Catholic. I divorced the church after my confirmation which I was compelled to by my mother. You pretty much have a bullseye here. Jack already pointed that out. All the numerology imbedded in the scripture shows up here with the major events playing out. I’m always very impressed with the research/knowledge that goes into a poem like this. Good writing.

Your humble and accepting atheist,
Tim

P.S. Jesus was socialist carpenter who healed the sick, fed the poor, and was crucified for speaking out against the monied power structures of his day. He’ll always be a favorite of mine.

you just gained 500 points in my book. the only thing I got from Christians was abuse and lies. I'm no Christian either. I have a hard time to not be wary around them (the sheepole) I've read the Christian bible and found it full of contradictions and lies. so don't be sorry for not being one of them.

...you're no Christian. Possibly the best choice you ever made.

I am not religious in anyway...this is a metaphor for a monumental lie we are being force-fed...hidden in the nonsense of religious scripture.

I just enjoyed having fun with the biblical clap-trap whilst focusing on something quite different...although the biblical scripture fits the lie.

I fear they are getting organized again... and I am a witch who floats! thank you for posting this. you are more brave than I am...I abhor being preached at. you should snag a few who feel the need to convert you! when you reel in a few...I suggest you Bar-B-QUE them, they are tastier that way, oh...don't forget to marinate them first!

I am not sure I was brave to post it, I just post my thoughts as they come to me.

In this snowflake world where everybody wants to be a label that can be offended, I am sure anything & everything I post will indeed offend somebody.

I don't recognise labels, I don't intend to offend anybody but of course the Victim society we now live in allows all to be offended.

I'll say no more as I'm sure everybody is already offended by me even existing & having an opinion.

again Nope! I am not and I don't think anyone else here, is offended by your stance, position, ideas or whatever; and if they are, too ******* bad! I am sure that there are at least as many people who are offended by my theories and ideas and I, like you, don't give two ***** ! I don't know where you get the idea that EVERYBODY is offended, but it is not a fact. Regards back, ~ Geez.

This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Most definitely NOT offended.

~RoseBlack~

well 2 private messages received so far from offended Christians about this piece is a start.

I am no longer allowed to welcome people in the shop I work in using "good morning ladies/good morning gentlemen"...might offend someone who is neither or identifies differently. I am not intending to offend but now have to simply say Good morning.

World gone mad...me with it!

it is getting to be way over the top with everyone claiming to be victims. the pendulum is swinging far out of control. it used to be just the opposite. first none would talk, now you cannot get them to be quite!

I don't think that at all, you have made it abundantly clear that you hold no truck with religion. I don't either. I think that in pre-history, there were beings from other places that came here; screwed around with our DNA, tried to subjegate us, found us too intractable to deal with and just gave up and went off to find someone else to fk with. Those who were in the know or thought they were, tried to take advantage of the masters absence and made religion. ~ Geez.

Here either. I was raised Catholic and turned away from the church as soon as I was able. A friend and I have similar conversations regarding the lies we are fed. This was a well executed write and drove the point home to those who understand. Nice job.

~RoseBlack~

"walk the corners?" this seem a bit off. For walking a corner would require about a step to turn the corner then a reversal to turn it again. So some other word than walk seems to be called for. You have already used stalk.......How about haunt? or visit?

Haunt works perfectly well for me...thanks for your critical eye.

thanks for walking the corners of my poem,
