The Battles of Advent
Preceding ‘gentle Jesus meek and mild’
The battle raged:
The snake in the garden,
The first murder,
The lies, deceit
And betrayal.
The Old Covenant sad stories
Reveal
The real struggle.
When David stood before Goliath
The real fight
Was in the heavenlies.
When David lusted after Bathsheba
The battle raged in places
Far beyond earth.
When the second Adam
Was nailed to a tree,
The Romans and Sanhedrin
Were not masters
But slaves.
When Christ arose,
The false Prince lost.
