Analysis of Judge God



The mighty One, God our Lord,
Speaks and summons upon the earth;
The sun setting is not ignored,
Knowing the rising sun's true worth.

The perfection of true beauty,
God shining forth out of Zion;
He did give the sun its duty,
To start like a roaring lion.

Our Lord does not keep silent,
Before Him, a consumed fire;
A mighty storm is violent,
Destruction it does desire.

He calls on Heaven up above,
And the earth to judge His people;
The faithful ones gather thereof,
Taking refuge in His temple.

A covenant through sacrifice,
Was made where the faithful gather;
Asked for favor in justice,
Through their praise and prayed together.

Heaven declares His righteousness,
For God Himself remains the judge;
For all those who do not confess,
Will be condemned in His carnage.

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…
