Pointless Persuasion

"If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead" (Luke 16:31).

Your can talk with a wisdom that heaven has aided.
You can speak till there's simply no more to be said.
If not by the prophets and Moses persuaded,
They will not believe though One rose from the dead.

Students of prophecy, study the Word!
Be ready to answer each one who will ask
The reason that you have believed what you heard,
For God has commanded it; this is your task.

But know this, in spite of the best dissertation,
Mockers shall come who will simply not hear.
For many, therefore, the strongest persuasion,
Shall never succeed, though your reasons are clear.
