Those Who Will See (Isaiah 52:15)

-

There are those who will see
who until this moment have been blind.
Those who have walked
in darkness,
the shadows of emptiness,
who will turn toward the light.

Some who have never heard
will understand
with more clarity 
than scholars.
And those who have never felt peace
shall be wrapped in its embrace.

The kings of this world
are broken.
Their iron fists of rule
have turned to dust,
their armies are bones
scattered in the desert sand.

Listen to the distant melodies.
Pay attention to the glory in the clouds.
The servant returns
prepared for a battle
you cannot comprehend.

Does our law allow these things? And with the question He points back to scripture. "Have you not read". All the answers are right there. But you have to have eyes to see and ears to hear. Why then... and but...? Because you are dense, hard to teach. Two shall unite, man and woman, as in the days of creation. No man may separate or redefine. They ask a question, specific, and the Lord's answer encompasses so much more. They question divorce and He defines marriage.
