"The Last Judgement Bench" copyright 2008 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, "Passion Amidst Apathy"

Posted in upcoming book "Passion Amidst Apathy", tagged , , , on August 27, 2010| Leave a Comment »

It was a long day of preaching and answering many questions by the Master.
Toward the end of the day an ancient elder of the nearby village asked the
Master the following question.
” Master,”  he shouted above the multitude,
“Tell us of the Last Judgement.”
The Master replied,
” The Judgement Bench sits before the Gates of Heaven.
On this day Trillions of souls will stand before this bench.
The total of all the eternal souls that have been born and died in eternity.
The scales of judgement will be in the total hearts of all.
Each soul will stand before all in total recall of all the details,
of their lives on the physical earth.
No trespass will be hidden,
no hurt upon others forgotten,
but revealed to all,
to see, to feel within,
their own individual spirits.
The sincerity of one giving up themselves
to Jesus will also lay in the balance of judgement.
To those, that the scales of justice weigh
heavily against them,
the gates of hell will swallow them
for their last time to an eternity of suffering,
without the light of God before them.
To those, who died with repent on their lips,
to those who gave their lives to Christ in their lives,
with deeds of love and goodness,
to these,
the Gates will then open,
to an eternity of peace and joy.
So, it will be on that day,
that all will stand
before the Judgement Bench,”
so said the Master of my life,
on this day.

Signs of God’s Love for us,
abound before us.
We must not be blinded to see it,
nor receive it.
Our lack of sight,
nor our ability to receive such gifts,
are lost to us,
by own very own angers,
and lack of forgiveness.
Only by becoming aware of our shortcomings,
in the eyes of our God,
with the help of Jesus’ individual Love for us,
will these many blessings,
become ours.

"An Earthbound Angel" copyright 2008 John J. Rigo upcoming "Passion Amidst Apathy"

My Bride, Linda Terry-Rigo

She spoke of death, matter factually.
She told me what the afterlife was.
The detail was clear and without doubt.
An earthbound angel returned,
to quiet my fears and give me peaceful assurance.
Who was this creature that gave me this gift,
with such authority?
I had known her for over thirty-five years.
We have been together over eighteen years.
She is the wife of my dreams.
A true “Giver of Life” is my bride.
How blessed, am I, this day,
to have time shared with her.
Thank you God,
for this gift of life to me.
