Then violence increased and their Maker few sought
A great flood destroyed all, but Noah had been taught
– he warned, but most laughed. Later Abraham heard
the promise – must teach his descendants God’s Word
and God would bring blessing to all of the nations.
God’s prophets informed, and increased expectations
that one day God’s Saviour would come, loving King
with Light for all people, from sin to redeem.
The people were ready, but some hoped for One
who’d conquer the Romans, the rulers who’d come
with taxes and soldiers; a few were aware
their need was for One who their nature would share
but able to bring them to personal peace
with God, and from guilt and transgressions’ release,
to draw their hearts back and teach justice and love:
some waited this Saviour to come from above.
