80,000 careless
Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon
80,000 careless Ethiopians shall go down in
Babylon
|
Ezekiel
30:9 - In that day shall
messengers go forth from me in ships to make the
careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall
come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo,
it cometh. |
Many are called
but few shall be chosen to go to Mount Zion
Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to
Mount Zion
|
Matthew
20:16 - So the last shall be
first, and the first last: for many be called,
but few chosen.
Matthew 22:14 -
For many are called, but few are chosen. |
And it came to
pass in the eleventh year
In the first month of the seventh day
The words of JAH came to us, saying, |
Ezekiel
30:20 - And it came to pass in
the eleventh year, in the first month, in the
seventh day of the month, that the word of the
LORD came unto me, saying, |
I shall say unto the north, Give up
And to the south, Keep not back
Send the chosen sons from afar
And his daughters from the ends of the earth
|
Isaiah
43:6 - I will say to the north,
Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring
my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends
of the earth; |
80,000 careless
Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon
80,000 careless Ethiopians shall go down in
Babylon
Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to
Mount Zion
Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to
Mount Zion
A living God
25,000 (??) shall gather
Oh, O the ??? my God
JAH Almighty living God
And it came to pass in the eleventh year
In the first month of the seventh day
The words of JAH came to us, saying,
I shall say unto the north, Give up
And to the south, Keep not back
Send the chosen sons from afar
And his daughters from the ends of the earth
80,000 careless Ethiopians shall go down in
Babylon
80,000 careless Ethiopians shall go down in
Babylon
Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to
Mount Zion
Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to
Mount Zion
Oh, all the licks that I have received
I feel it all over me
Even the blind cannot see - it's feeling the
pressure from Babylon
Oh, I am feeling all the pain from Babylon licks
that I have received
Their faces so ugly - they look just like the
devil in the deep blue sea
O JAH, O JAH, O JAH... |
