Poem


Based on Revelation 13:1-7

I saw a beast rise out of the sea
It had ten horns and seven heads;
Ten crowns on each horn;
Ten nations the world to dread.
This beast resembled a leopard
But had the feet of a bear
A mouth like that of a lion
Dragon’s power and throne to share

The whole world was astonished
As they followed the dragon and the beast
Uttering proud words and blasphemies
To all who partook of the feast—
The feast of bread and the wine
Offered up to a foreign god
The beast was given great authority
All the earth can hear the applaud

The whole world’s inhabitants
Will bow down and worship this power
For their names are not found
In the Book of Life at that hour
For those who are faithful—
These will be trying days
They’ll be martyred or jailed
For observing God’s ways

God didn’t promise the saints a picnic
In the days of Jacob’s trouble
Death will be a blessing—
Eternal life with it coupled
A sacrifice of martyrs
Just as in the days of old
Willingly dying for their Savior
For no other power they behold

When their Savior appears in the clouds
They’ll be clothed with garments white
Awoken from death’s sleep
They’ll see their King come into sight
There’ll be such great rejoicing
As never was before
Satan will be bound
Christ, our King forever more!
