The reign of God – v2

to see Judas as the zealot
not as the betrayer
to give the kindest take
on his motivation

to hasten the kingdom
the reign of God
to precipitate action
the rule established

Christ upon the throne
the enemies vanquished
all according
to Judas’ plan

the reign of God
in God’s own time
what hubris, what arrogance
to hasten the Lord

if that was what he was thinking,
no, really, honesty,
did he think he could push
our sovereign Lord?
