A MATTER OF TIMING
(Based on the best available Bible scholarship and the author’s educated opinion.)
Maundy Thursday–today–
Tradition says Christ was betrayed…
Good Friday, the cross,
When Jesus felt lost
Til risen on Easter Sunday.
–
Tradition, a gentile plot,
To cut off a Jewish knot…
Tassels off a shawl
Blinding us all
How far from the truth we’ve got.
–
Traditional time makes no sense,
But ammunition for skeptics immense…
Evening and a morn
How Jewish time formed
From Genesis One, and hence!
–
Western tradition is short,
Of ignorant comport…
Anti-Semitic
Christians steeped in it,
Are making Christ’s Kingdom contort.
–
Sinful fascist gentile pride
Would the real truth override…
God’s people, the Jews,
Have been misused
Power struggles for souls–woe betide!
