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
