Signs of the Time
Take a good look around
Tell me what do you see
Is this the future?
Of our society
So much evil
So much wrong
So much deceit
Cheating our elderly out of their homes
Young people being shot
While walking down the street
So many killings
And what is the reason?
Some say what goes around comes around
And this most certainly is true
But does that give someone the right
To fatally harm you?
The Bible says there will be a time
When you cannot tell the seasons
Natural disasters in unusual months
Now tell me if you believe it
It also says in Revelation
You won’t be able to tell the men from the women
And the women from the men
This most definitely is a fact we are seeing
Global warming
All over the world
Take heed to what you see
Hold tight to the ones you love
Father against Son
Brother against Brother
A war of the worlds
And so much more is coming
Plagues all around
Nation throughout Nation
Killing off millions
So much devastation
Diseases with no cure
More and more are being infected
Like a lethal dose
Of death being injected
People don’t want to take heed
To the messages being spoken
Families being destroyed
Torn apart and broken
Romans 8:31 – "If God Be For You, Who Then Shall Be Against You?"
Is one of my favorite scriptures
It gives me hope and faith, even peace
The words are a vision of a perfect picture
God makes no mistakes
He is the creator of all
Just as he lifts you up
Sometimes he lets you fall
When you are down
You have no place to look but up
God enjoys your communication with him
Through the smooth and the rough
See, he allows you stumble
Yet helps you find your way
And he appreciates
The time you take out to pray
There are many things that will happen
Before this world as we know it will end
I encourage you
To allow Jesus to be your friend
My prayer for those who read this poem
Is that the message resonates and stays on your mind
Jesus is coming back, prepare yourself
Because we are living through the signs of the time
