The Rungs in Jacob’s Ladder
.
By Clarence G. Underwood
.
Checking spiritual ladders in time
We find that they are like a rhythm.
Many play to the same tune with
A repeating beat of seven from the
Sky. That’s right, the Sun, Moon
And the five visible planets play
That tune. Many cultures say we go
And come from heaven that way.
The number seven is very popular
In Christianity, the seven churches
And seven stars. Perhaps that also
Includes the Pleiades, those beautiful
Seven Stars! That’s the book of
Revelations. Other Christian values
Are Faith, Hope, Charity plus, Justice,
Prudence, Fortitude and Temperance!
The number seven is played again. If
You have those values you win! You’ve
Reached Nirvana and don’t need to
Throw the dice again!
