Armageddon. In my inner world life died everywhere, famine taking what sword had left behind. Brim and hailstones flattening what stood up, no escape from the carnage I could find. Awed I saw Jesus the evil fight, turning my world into a battleground. I saw billows of smoke rising up high, rolling thunder through my world rebound. I watched as scorpions paraded my soul, stinging those godless in their lust. Massive grasshoppers devouring all my good, fierce horses trampling me to dust. I saw much of my greenery burn-up, fleets of cargo ships sadly perish. Daily trade coming to an abrupt hold, ungodly rulers wrong to cherish. I saw the Dragon reigning his subjects, watched the numbered die like flies. I heard the false prophet's constant lying, demons smearing God's love with lies. It was the blood drinking prostitute, which flabbergasted me the most. Unfaithfulness killing God's chosen, with fiery death she was deposed. I saw my world's kingdom going down, ruling Babylon fall in one day. With two thirds of my world wiped out, I watched true Peace coming to stay. And so watching God's own safely at home, I finally let my tears run dry. Seeing Jesus arising on the clouds, I joined the Hallelujah cry. |
