The Tribulation

There will come a time on earth,
The Bible calls the Tribulation, 
Immediately following God’s Return,
Seven years of earthly devastation.

Those who are saved at the time,
Of the Rapture - God’s Return,
Will ascend with Him to Heaven,
All others will suffer His spurn.

Seven years of Hades on earth,
Is what is foretold in the Bible.
We each were given free will,
For rejection, those will be liable.

For those who chose not to believe,
In Christ, God’s only begotten Son,
Before they saw with their own eyes,
The path of rejection cannot be undone.

The Tribulation is just the beginning,
Of the fate of those who didn’t believe,
Seven years followed by eternity in Hades,
Burning endlessly, no one to hear their pleas.
