Analysis of Coronating of the Son



Why do the nations rage,
The people plot in vain;
They do not act their age,
Making others feel pain.

The kings of the earth set,
As the rulers take counsel;
Making the people fret,
Woke culture to cancel.

They go against the Lord,
Bursting the bonds apart;
For God has been ignored,
As they harden the heart.

God who sits in Heaven,
Holds them in derision;
His laugh has been given,
Widens the division.

He shall speak in His wrath,
Vex them in His fury;
To Zion block their path,
Fear drives them to scurry.

For the Lord will decree,
Because You are His Son;
He has begotten thee,
Do what God has begun.

Break the rod of iron,
Dash them into pieces;
And prepare for Zion,
After the hate ceases.

Be wise now O you kings,
O rulers of the earth;
Laud the Son as He brings,
Zion into new birth.

Serve the Lord in your fear,
Rejoice as you tremble;
Because the time comes near,
Worship to assemble.

Kiss the Son anger not,
You perish in the way;
Wrath brings on distraught,
Blessings if you obey.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
