Bill's Bible Basics Blog

They say that history repeats itself,
Sadly, it seems that it may be true,
If you were a Christian in Nero’s day,
You would’ve found yourself in a stew.

Crazed Nero desired to rebuild Rome,
So a most devious plan he did conspire,
To make room for his construction plans,
He ordered that the city be set on fire.

How to do it without getting caught,
So they would not cast on him the blame,
There was a sect called the Christians,
And those gents Nero began to defame.

They don’t even worship our Roman gods,
And even eat human flesh and drink blood,
Thus it was with his false accusations,
Nero dragged their name through the mud.

The lie caught on and persecution began,
The Christians were hated and crucified,
Though they were not guilty of the crime,
Yet still many of those good folks died.

Today the very same ploy has been used,
In which sinners have taken the reins,
They accuse us of hatred and bigotry,
To slander us they’ll go to great pains.

But just like Nero, they are the guilty,
Because they rebel against God’s Laws,
They paint us as homophobes and worse,
But they surely do it without just cause.

While all of the verses in this set of graphics are discussing the ancient, stubborn, rebellious Israelites who repeatedly backslid against the Lord, and fell into deep apostasy, they could just as easily be talking about modern America, or any other modern nation which has heard the Gospel, and yet continues in rebellion against the Lord and His holy Word. Repent, because your day of reckoning is coming!

TERRORIST

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

05-30-2016

I am just a simple terrorist,
I wreak havoc wherever I go,
I have no love, only hate,
But I follow my prophet Mo’.

The infidels are on my list,
I slay them with all my might,
Prophet says defend our faith,
And I know he must be right.

I’m not blind, I know the truth,
Don’t confuse me with your word,
For if you do, I will hunt you too,
And cut your neck with my sword.

THE TWO RACES

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

04-09-2014

This life is like a race, many people know,
Some folks run fast, while others run slow.
Some run for money, while others for fame,
But if the truth be told, it is Satan’s game.

There is a race which many, so fail to see,
Its prize is not earthly, but for Eternity.
So many are called, to take part in this feat,
But Satan fights hard, to bring them defeat.

My son, you will never win if you never run,
And you will never run well, without the Son.
So keep your eyes on Jesus, He knows the way,
And you will be rewarded, on that Great Day.

TRUMP DUMP

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

04-13-2023

This poem is for the former president,
Yes, we’re referring to Donald Trump,
Sir, why don’t you learn your lesson,
And stop relying on your verbal dump.

Yes, you achieved some good things,
But as for the issue with your mouth,
Man, it’s high time for you to control it,
Or your chances may go totally south.

We all know you have got a huge ego,
Your proud boasting drives us insane,
But when it comes to your opponents,
Must you really call them some name?

Your practice is rather quite childish,
You need to find a better approach,
Maybe it would be to your advantage,
To hire a professional speaking coach.

HEAVENLY VISION

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

01-07-2017

The Earth may have its great cities,
And other things that old Satan sells,
But a Heavenly City is my only vision,
Everything else by comparison pales.

Tho long I may sojourn on this planet,
I have known it is not my true place,
Thus I try to please the Lord daily,
As I patiently run in the great race.

Some fine day my journey will be over,
My tired body just won’t take any more.
So I pray that when I finally retire,
Angels will open that Heavenly Door.

#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #ProphesiedDestruction #JewishTemple #HerodsTemple #Destruction #Prophecy #Temple #NotOneStone

“And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
Matthew 24:1-2, KJV

“‭And‭ as he‭ went‭‭ out of‭ the temple‭, one‭ of his‭ disciples‭ saith‭‭ unto him‭, Master‭, see‭ what manner‭ of stones‭ and‭ what‭ buildings‭ ‭are here‭!‭ ‭And‭ Jesus‭ answering‭‭ said‭‭ unto him‭, Seest thou‭‭ these‭ great‭ buildings‭? there shall‭‭ not‭ be left‭‭ one stone‭ upon‭ another‭, that‭ shall‭‭ not‭ be thrown down‭‭.‭”
Mark 13:1-2, KJV

“For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.”
Luke 19:43-44, KJV

“And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
Luke 21:5-6, KJV

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
Matthew 23:37-24:2, KJV

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”
Luke 13:34-35, KJV
