Greetings from Your King (30.6.16)

“Salutations from the King of kings speaks of words from afar,

                                                          speaks of the written word,

                                                          speaks of formality in action,

                                                          speaks of the kingly distancing within His rule and reign.

Salutations from the King of kings sets up boundaries which cannot easily be crossed,

                                                         sets up a sternness in presentation which brings frigidity to the air,

                                                         sets up the ‘fear’ of the King of kings with a completely different meaning,

                                                         sets up an approach where handshakes are quite stiff,

                                                                                          where bows are quite precise,

                                                                                          where protocols are strict and hide behind obedience,

                                                                                          where eye contact is not the first choice of the day.

Salutations from the King of kings is to be thrown out with the ‘soup’ of yesterday,

                                                         is to be detached from the throne of God,

                                                         is to be banished from His kingdom,

                                                         is to go to where the used frowns pile up in a corner to await the rubbish tin,

                                                         is to be treated as ‘past the use by date’ and not to rear up in presenting its imaging
                                                                                                                                                            or voice again. 

    For the coloured stallions,

                           the red the black the pale,

                           have run their dash across the landscapes of man. 

    For the rider of the white horse leads His retinue in victory,

                                        has won the hearts and souls of man—

          Hearken to the call of The Lord ringing out within His courts of praise and worship:

                                                                                                                               with The Song of The Lamb,

                                                                                                                                       The Anthem of the King;

                                                                                                                               with the fanfares of immediacy heard trumpeting—

                                                                                                                                                          ‘Greetings now and forever more.’ 

    For He is risen.
