Divided Downfalls

Matthew 12:22-30

In dealing with Christ no one agreed,
If it was for real or just being deceived;
Was He really from David and his seed?
Or the prince of demons they received?

Every nation divided just lies to waste,
Since a divided house will never stand;
As Satan merely casts out Satan in haste,
In fighting himself throughout the land.

How then will he ever keep a kingdom?
In battling to the death and destruction;
And knowledge of an earthly wisdom,
Filled with some tantalizing seduction.

If Christ was Satan and cast demons out,
Then the sons and daughters be the judge;
For the Kingdom of Heaven be in doubt,
And our Lord would be holding a grudge.

But if it's the Spirit of God that disposes,
The henchmen who belong to Beelzebub;
Then the truth in the Word that exposes,
Your new home will be with the cherub.
