THE BITTER SCROLL

Blood punched moon. Charlie shot down.

Chrystal and the Dragon. Two Witness Revelation.


I was sealed up. 

For 32 years. 

A split within a split. A mask within a mask.

I couldn’t get out because I didn’t know I was in.

An existential hell with unique construction.

A body encoded with contradiction, stored as revelation. 

All the suffering, meaningless, now resurrected and redeemed.

Nervous system chaos,  soft tissues — sick, sick, sick — completely fine.

Endless halls of mirrors.

I burnt alive in those flames. Forged to bear witness.

To every lie. Every deception. Every coward. Every thief. 

Still, I knew. Someone would get me. 

I never had any hope, so this hope confused me. I just couldn’t see, until it was time. 

Only a personal God. 

Only a relational God.

Only a God who became a Person. 

The boundless becomes Incarnate.

Known among us.

Jesus was split to show us our split, 

Like a thief in the night, 

It changed in a blip.

The paradoxes of my life collapsed. 

I knew. At that moment. I was split. Obviously. 

I knew I was out. I knew I was in.

I knew I was both.

I knew I was split within a split.

You’re all split.

This Bitter Scroll.

Time stretched backwards, washing me away.  

“To the one who conquers, I will give him a white stone…”

Time pushed onward, folding back on present. 

I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.” 

I think it’s time.

You don’t need to take my word for it.

Just take the Word.

Let’s start with what He already Finished.
