the judgment was set,
and the books were opened.

in my Father's kingdom.

if they should be written every one,
I suppose that even the world itself

It's time to become born again.
That you may be anointed with the HOLY SPIRIT.
Which will help you understand Scripture easily.
And appreciate the LORDSHIP of CHRIST.
