Haiku responding to 1 Thes 2:1-8
A cosmic contest
when the Lord returns to take
on the lawless one.
No doubt Paul's readers
knew of whom he was writing,
this man without law.
Paul gives the warning:
don't be shaken or alarmed,
and don't be deceived.
Troubles and struggles
will come, but be reassured,
the Lord will prevail.
It's all a bit much;
obscure references leaving
us guessing today
The lawless ones still
grasp power, oppress, deceive;
making themselves God.
They exalt themselves.
We refuse to worship them,
we will stay faithful.
Paul's warnings remain,
the faithful must hold firm; stand
against the lawless.
