Sign of the Times

S o it begins, God’s decision.
I nhumane punishment rains down,
G ranting death to apostasy and sin.
N o mercy will be granted.

O verhead the sun becomes dark and moon blood…
F ear strikes the hearts of man.

T he stars fall from the sky,
H eavenly bodies are shaken.
E nd times seem near.

T he final act is starting…
I nexorable is his judgement…
M alice is tolerated no longer, and God ends it all,
E ngulfing the world in darkness,
S etting fire to everything we’ve done...

This is a great acrostic! Reads well and on topic. I like acrostics and enjoyed. It is a theme I had to give some thought to too.

Great acrostic Connor, but I feel the sign of todays times are not God's decision, but human destruction by humans..

Hey Silent! Nice of you to stop by! I do feel like it is ourselves tearing us apart, and we will probably be what causes the end... but (don't quote me on this if I'm wrong) doesn't God, through Jesus, PREDICT the end times, like he always does a long time before his wrath is pour down on whoever he is pissed at? (Sorry for my terrible terminology, but truly, God gets pissed from time to time.) He warns people through Noah for over 100 years. I can't think of any other examples at the moment. I feel like this argument is stupid.
