Logos(revised)

object:book
cover:hardback
page count: 2248 with appendices
page 3: Voice shatters silence,
the formless congeals,
hardens, transforms.
light and dark
are oil and water in the sky,
each to its place.
The seas pulls away from land
as sheets pull from the bed.
Life begins with a simple Word,
and it is good.
page 432: His enemies are trampled
underfoot.
the belly of the earth is ripped asunder;
He rends the fortresses
as tissue paper.
the blood of thousands
waters the earth;
poured out by a donkey's jawbone.
page 1713: the Word was with Him before,
the Word was with Him
and the Word became flesh.
He mended the bleeding,
opened up sight to those without,
restored the withered limbs,
was destroyed by man,
so the Word could
destroy the grave,
rebuild the Temple,
undo His enemy.
page 2059: the Word returns in power;
the Sword of His Tongue
flensing and tearing
the dragon to nothingness.
His robes made scarlet
by its blood
and all proclaim
"Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!"
object: Savior
name:Logos, the Word made flesh.
