Do not have childish thoughts,
Or as infants in evil;
Rather as mature mascots,
Thinking against the devil.
By people having strange tongues,
By the lips of foreigners;
Coronavirus fills their lungs,
Spreading to the christeners.
God will speak to the people,
Even then they will not heed;
When they enter the temple,
For His Word they will not read.
Wherefore, tongues are not a sign,
For heeding non-believers;
Rather they complain and whine,
Not being as receivers.
If the church comes together,
While all will speak in tongue;
Unbelievers will gather,
Will they say it is far-flung.
Instead if all prophesy,
As unbelievers enter;
And they are wondering why,
Avoiding the tormenter.
They are convicted by all,
Being called to account for;
Judged and sentenced to fall,
Into the fiery core.
For the secrets of their heart,
Disclosed to fall on their face;
Because their life will depart,
As they are shamed in disgrace.
They will kneel and worship God,
Declare that God is with them;
While they honor and laud,
Pleading that He not condemn.
