13-Mar-12: Hebrews 9:23-28
24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.
25 Nor was it to offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Holy Place year after year with blood that is not his own;
26 for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to remove sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And just as it is appointed for mortals to die once, and after that the judgment,
28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
“……..and you say He will come back even brighter?”
All all rest now, all healing now, all helping now before crossing
That wild stream, that most billowing stream, that roaring stream.
All friends using each other in seeing, touching, hearing, tasting the tossing
That journeying quest had brought them, that Old Crow and Ugly Bird did beam.
“Wait, what is that whistley whispering, that bluesy note just yon?
“Wait, hear, did you hear, did you fear that scratching note of bold?
So friends huddled into each other, still glazed with membered glory beyond.
“Why,”breathed DragonyFly,”I heard of second smackdown glory foretold.”
