Poem
There will be two resurrections The first one is holy, will it include you? There will be two risings in the valley of dry bones Which one will you awaken to? The first resurrection is reserved for only the saints They are God’s adopted children, His elect, chosen family Rewarded for their obedience in this life, they served God faithfully Born again, possessing eternal breath They need not fear the second death Immortality is their true nature indeed There will be a new heaven and new earth Time will not exist anymore, a thousand years will be like a day Grace and mercy are the saints’ godly inheritance, a double blessing that can never be taken away Thus, they give to God always eternal praise But woe, woe, woe ... curse be unto those who take part in the second resurrection God will raise up the wicked again to prove once and for all this immutable, holy truth: The wicked will always do wickedly, they won’t ever change Put them in the peaceful land of the righteous, and they will lust to do evil once again They will want to revive war, death and sin The first resurrection is a day of celebration, all the saints gathered around their God After the day of the Lord comes to an end, those thousand years of joyous festivities — God removes the gravestones, so the wicked can live once again Recreate paradise ... to see if they will listen to the Serpent in the Garden This second resurrection, it doesn’t end well: Satan is released from his prison cell Then he seduces the wicked, casting them again under his devilish spell Mustering an evil army, they come to the camp of the saints They come to take a spoil, to steal and kill like they did once before But the wrath of God is unleashed ... Armageddon Raining fire and brimstone down, forming a fiery lake A soul devouring pit All the wicked get tossed in ... this is their chosen fate God gave the wicked second breath, but they chose to die this second death Such is the mercy and justice of God Two resurrections: one above ... one below The first are given eternal life, the second receive the brimstone gallows Terminating the final good versus evil battle Two resurrections: one above ... one below Which one will you be in, is something only God will know So strive to be in the one above The first one, a pageantry of pure love, God showing His precious children what was always the intended eternal way The second one, a strange morality replay ... the birth and death of the wicked, beginning and ending, all on the same day
