Holocaust Fire

The breath that breathes the heavens

now bends the great city towers like trees.

Holocaust fires

erupt from embers on land and sea

deep deep from sparks and embers of darkness

in human hearts.

The winds of heavenly light

push now hard against the smiling lies

and the selfish cries

and the innocent child mask

that the human race still wears

to keep up appearances

so that it can continue to play with its world.

When push comes to shove

the true human heart

can only erupt 

with Holocaust fires

which burn away all pretexts

all garments of false humility

false civility

leaving the human heart exposed

sitting in the temple of God

convincing itself that it is God

never realizing

that what it is missing out on

is the resurrection of the dead

the resurrection of the Jews

God’s re-creation of humanity

And now it is too late

but not for everyone

At the ends of the earth

where the mountains quake

and the pillars of the earth crack and shake

where the heavenly breath blows strong

among every nation 

tribe and people

there are some hearts that hear

and fear the salvation that is coming

when the God of Israel 

saves Jerusalem
