If you want to read real poetry, perhaps you should look in greener pastures. This little poem I wrote up is a very weak re-write of my original \u201cRoses are red\u201d poem from the Romans post from long-long ago.<\/p>\n<p>What you might notice in my poem is that although there is rhyming it is not necessary to what I was trying to convey since it\u2019s not found throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Now, what would you do if someone brought you this poem and told you the poet is saying that the fields are drenched with the blood of a rose? You would probably look at the thing and realize one thing, at least\u2014that I (the poet) was speaking (writing) metaphorically. If the messenger also pointed out that the poet didn\u2019t have a clue what he was doing with the poem by highlighting part b of the second verse, you would either agree or disagree completely because the passage has culminated to that stanza. It is a matter of proper interpretation in light of the literary structure. It would be one thing if the poem was written in prose\u2026but since it obviously has metaphoric language and is obviously making analogies and there seems to be some sort of structure, the common reader should draw a different conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to Hebrew Poetry\u2014the same poetry used in the Bible. You very well know that the Bible is loaded with poetry. Psalms comes first to your mind, perhaps followed by Song of Solomon and maybe Proverbs. Upon further investigation you may see tons of poetry in Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Minor Prophets and scattered throughout much of the New Testament! One writer I saw had noticed that the entire book of Isaiah was in itself structured as a huge poem (which adds validity to the single authorship of Isaiah!)<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s important about this is that some people take the scriptures and read a poetic passage as if it\u2019s prose or direct commandments or a literal statement, completely ignoring the fact that the passage is written poetically.<\/p>\n<p>Hebrew poetry uses what smarter people than me call \u201cparallelism\u201d. What this means, in simple terms, is that the first part is echoed or contrasted in the second part to convey a single point.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>The red of roses poured out upon the fields<br \/>\nupon the fields drenched in the rose\u2019s blood<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Note the first verse where the second part is conveying the same message as the first part\u2026there is an allusion to the color of the rose being likened to blood and the rose is found in the fields. The passage is not highlighting the blood or the field but the color of the rose which is easily recognized by the second verse:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0<strong>The violets hue all purplish blue,<br \/>\nthe blue imbued into the violet\u2019s hue<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not that the blue of the violets are imbued while the red of the roses is drenched\u2026the word picture is highlighting the seeming nature of the color. The violets magical hue seems to come from inside while the piercing red of the rose looks drastically different from its surroundings. Neither prophecy nor message of the nature of flowers\u2026just thoughts on color. In English it would likely read:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0<strong>Roses are red<br \/>\nViolets are blue<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now sometimes in Scripture such parallelism uses contrasts to illustrate one point\u2014even within the parts. If you note my verse:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>My poem is weak, without any strength,<br \/>\nlike the strong walls of Jericho, broken down as chaff<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The two phrases are in complete contrast but within the parts you\u2019ll notice \u201cweak\u201d versus \u201cstrength\u201d and \u201cstrong walls\u201d versus \u201cbroken down as chaff\u201d. The verse is describing that the penned words are weak\u2026not pummeled or once strong\u2026just that they are weak and worth throwing out. Let\u2019s take an example from Scripture then from Proverbs 6:20 and 21:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0<strong>My son, keep your father\u2019s commands<br \/>\nand do not forsake your mother\u2019s teaching.<br \/>\nBind them upon your heart forever;<br \/>\nfasten them around your neck.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFather\u2019s commands\u201d and \u201cmother\u2019s teaching\u201d are conveying the same thought\u2014the very things that the son was taught. \u201cKeep\u201d and \u201cdo not forsake\u201d are conveying the same thought\u2014to hold those things. \u201cBind them\u201d and \u201cfasten them\u201d are conveying the same exact thought as the previous line of putting these things close to the son. \u201cYour heart\u201d and \u201cyour neck\u201d convey the same thought\u2014very close and a matter of survival!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not going to bother going into staircase, chiastic, external, and inverted parallelism. That reaches beyond the scope of the present study. The point is that a person can\u2019t look at a passage that is speaking poetically without trying to understand what the poem is actually saying. Some people have taken a very famous poetic passage and interpreted it so strictly literally that the passage looses its hermeneutic meaning within the literal passage. Going above and beyond what dispensationalists have often been accused of (without warrant) the interpretation becomes so stilted that it does damage to the passage in general.<\/p>\n<p>Paul, inspired by the Spirit of God, recipient of messages from the risen Lord Jesus Christ, an Apostle by the mercy of God, delves into the Old Testament passages (often poetry) and puts together a poetic passage in Romans 3:10-18. The passages he pulls together often refer to something else but by the guiding Spirit of God, Paul is allowed to put together one of the most inclusive summaries which illustrate the condition of man. Illustrate I say, for the passage here is not literal and although some will agree that some of it is metaphorical in other parts some will say are completely literal non-poetic statements.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the words:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0<strong>Their throat is an open grave,<br \/>\nwith their tongues they keep deceiving<br \/>\nThe poison of asps is under their lips<br \/>\nWhose mouth is full of cursing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Is it too hard to see the similes or anthropomorphism that the inspired Apostle is illustrating in this portion of the passage? Is it too hard to see the repetition of parts of or dealing with the mouth (throat, tongue, lips and mouth)? It\u2019s not that the throat is literally an open grave, is it? It\u2019s not that the literal\u201d poison of asps\u201d are under their lips is it? What is the point that that the Apostle is trying to make by piecing together these poetic passages to formulate a poetic whole? For some will take the following portion and make it mean something realistically ridiculous:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>There is none who understands,<br \/>\nThere is none who seeks God<br \/>\nAll have turned aside, together they have become useless<br \/>\nThere is none who does good<br \/>\nThere is not even one<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0To take this portion to mean that not a single person does good is to destroy the very thought flow of the argument which Paul is presenting. To this point Paul has been addressing the heathen which knowingly denies the revealed attributes of God (Rom 1:18-18), the moralist who stands on the side of God and does the same as the heathen (Rom 2:1-11) and the Jew who stands on top of the Law while simultaneously being a lawbreaker (Rom 2:17-24). Sinners who deny God with their eyes wide shut, as it were, who in their efforts actually think that the things they are doing are just (Rom 2:23-25) and are proud to teach others to do the same (Rom 1:32).<\/p>\n<p>The statement refers to all of mankind before the position of God in trying to attain the very honor of God on their own merit. It\u2019s not that God ignores good works; that would be ridiculous. Go talk to Cornelius (Acts 10:1-3) if his works were useless or not prior to salvation. Go talk to the rich young ruler (Luke 18:18-23) who spoke to Jesus about keeping the entire law (doubtful but Jesus didn\u2019t slam him down with a \u201cYou are become useless!\u201d). We wouldn\u2019t look at the heathen who is trying to do good in society and tell them that they are the same kind of sinner as a Manson but we would say that before the eyes of God they are not meriting anything.<\/p>\n<p>The only merit God finds in man is via the all-pleasing sacrifice of the cross. In light of that perfectly bright and good work the works of man, no matter how good, are like filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6\u2014poetic passage!). It is by the light of the denied gospel that men are condemned; it is by their works that they are judged (Rom 2:16; Rev 20:12 and many others\u2014look at my Mission Statement if you want more passages).<\/p>\n<p>You see, some have taken this passage (and certain others\u2026) completely robbed it of its context and in the next breath have managed to send infants to hell with God finding pleasure in doing it.<\/p>\n<p>Something that I\u2019ve personally noticed from the Lord Jesus in Scripture, His message corresponded to reality. Whenever He spoke to the disciples, He wouldn\u2019t say something so abhorrent or contrary to reason as to be completely Other and thrown into the realm of Reasonless. To look at the world through the colored lenses of catechisms, councils, confessions and commentaries is to look at the world without the light of God but the light of learned men. Approach poetic passages with proper interpretive methods and compare them to their surrounding context and enjoy how God\u2019s plan unfolds, corresponding to reason found in the very wisdom of God.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we\u2019ll actually look at the climax to this section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The red of roses poured out upon the fields, upon the fields drenched in the rose\u2019s blood The violets hue all purplish blue, the blue imbued into the violet\u2019s hue My poem is weak, without any strength, like the strong walls of Jericho, broken down as chaff I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m doing with this, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[34,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-romans","category-study"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
