Final Chapter

Weirdness everywhere, what in the world is going on?
So many stretches of land totally scorched,
longing for even one drop of rain, others in a 
neighboring zip code, up to their necks in water,
can't stand the strain, a never ending refrain.

Powerful winds marching across the lands
making matchsticks of buildings made by man.
Bodies of water, both large and small,
so often raging and in such great turmoil.

Our planet seems to be angry in it's inner core
almost like demonic forces anxious for war,
causing ocean floors to tremble and quake.
Perhaps it is time for man to awake from their
slumber. For even the hollow mountains are
bubbling and spewing.Many a man wonder
just what the earth  and water gods are doing.

Pestilence and disease growing exponentially
forcing men to their knees.How can this be with 
all of our technology?A plethara of new strains
seems to be causing most of the pain.Is there 
any way we can stay ahead of the game?

And move over greenback, you are no longer 
number one, it's the euro now, not to be outdone.
And Israel is definitely the focus of our attention,
often awaiting for some divine intervention.
But our stares and cares are not on the Jews
alone in the Middle East, for now Russia and Iran
have become buddies and also beasts.

So what is the world coming to? What does
all this mean? And from it, what can we glean?
According to God's Word, we are in the final
chapter of His story,maybe even the last page
in history.

So if you don't know Jesus, and Creator God
of this universe, the very one mentioned here
in this verse,take just a minute of your time
and ask Him to come into your heart, for it is
from there that real life does have it's start.

But for those who love Messiah and know Him
well, our beloved Emmanuel, hold your head up
high for your redemption draweth nigh.
For the imminent climax of THE STORY
 will reveal Him in all of His glory.
