The Kingdom

The Image completed — the Bride drawn from the side, the household ordered under one Head.

On the sixth day the Image of Elohim is completed — male and female. The man, formed of dust on the third day, receives what no creature could supply: the woman drawn from his side. Covenant is not negotiable. The Kingdom series is a warning to Christian men: modern serial monogamy and church-blessed covenant swapping deface the completed Image. Reward and judgment are real.

Oh’ taunting Dragon, tongue of liars,
ever seeking death’s desire,
you speak in fractional truths:
“these broken pasts and present mired,
you’ve fought with all, but now you’re tired.”
Hollow and holler
are the dragon’s gaze and charade.
His deceptions draw them in.

The blessing is five words deep.

Parah — be fruitful. Rabah — multiply. Mala — fill. Kabash — subdue. Radah — rule. Five commissions laid on the sixth day’s Image — five answers to the dragon’s fractional truths.

In the week's loop: what was buried as Seed on the third day stands revealed in flesh on the sixth — the Kingdom, the return, the reign — and beyond it the seventh day, the rest: the new heaven and the new earth.
