The Signs of the End - Matthew 24

Beware of false prophets Jesus said
many will be led astray at the end
for many say they are Christ but are not
be true to God's love, please don't bend

Jesus warned of the coming tribulation
which will be on a scale not known before
these days will be cut short for the elect
only our heavenly father knows what's in store

The Son of Man is certainly coming
all of earth will mourn that terrible day
when Jesus comes in power and glory
gathering HIs elect that walks His way

Lessons can be taught from the fig tree
when its leaves show, Christ is near
even as close as being at the gate
so God's word makes this so very clear

No one knows the exact time of arrival
only God in Heaven knows when we're to expect
for the master will come at an unknown time
one thing is certain Jesus will come to collect

His collection will be only for His elect
those that believe and trust in His gospel
the many that reject Christ will be lost
so be sure and ready for His call to tell

So true Gordon. In Jesus words.... "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." ~ Luke 21:36 From everything that's happening all around the globe, even scientists have set the Doomsday Clock to 90 seconds to midnight.

We need to be more cautious and selective these days in what we choose to believe, and Jesus is the one I follow too
