“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
(Revelation 22:13 ESV)
The Beginning is the End
Of all things...
And nobody knows
What type of trouble
Tomorrow will bring
Famine, plagues, natural disasters
Terrorism, AIDS, or ridiculous banter
About how it's all gonna finish
(Possibly a "Zombie Pandemic"?!)
Prophets for profit postulating
Nuclear Holocaust and derision
Bible in one hand
Headlines in the other
It's the gospel according to Chicken Little
Time to duck and cover
Because the sky is falling
And Scientists are falsifying data
Cookin' up the books
To support the calculations
Of an extinct civilization
So, Black Hole Sun, won't you come
Because Pakistan's got the bomb
North Korea's still trippin'
And Russia's a cause for alarm
Left Behind got us blinded
Looking to LeHaye and Camping
To lead us
I'm holding on to a passion
For the Parousia -
Waiting To see Jesus
Coming back the way he left
Quick as lightning
Flashes east to west
The real King is back in the building
There's nothing comparable to that
The last day in this life
Becomes the first day of forever
No more death and sorrow
And unspeakable joy
That can never be measured
It's gonna happen
Just as He promised
But only God knows
When is "then"
For now, you should go plant an apple tree
Seek the Lord and repent of your sins -
Because you just never know;
Tomorrow could very well be...
THE END.
(cf. John 1:1, 2; Matthew 6:34, 24:27-28, 36-44; James 4:14; Revelation 19:11-16, 21:1-4, 22:13)
Soli Deo Gloria,
Shon
