Jesus prophesied in Mathew 24:4 that in the last days there would be wars and rumors of wars and that nation would rise against nation. Famines and earthquakes in various places would be the beginning of birth pains that would signal a very big coming event. With all the events that are happening today along with terrorism on the rise, we feel tense and uneasy that it is leading to something very very scary. Some call it the beginning of the end.
The Bible prophecies all these events and the Book of Revelations and Daniel especially gives us information as to what we can expect before Jesus returns. Though no one knows the exact time or date, we do know that Jesus warned HE will come like a thief in the night, when we least expect it. He cautioned us to keep watch and pray that we can be accounted worthy to escape the calamity that will fall upon the earth. The unfolding of events around the world is breeding much tension and concern for everyone. We all feel it, that something big is coming!! Out of current events I wrote the following song:
STORM CLOUDS ARE GATHERING
AWAKENING DREADFUL FEAR,
TENSION FELT AROUND THE WORLD,
THAT SOMETHING’S ALMOST HERE!!
SHOOTINGS AND BOMBINGS
ALMOST EVERY DAY,
AND TERRORISTS CLAIMING
EVEN MORE ARE ON THE WAY!!
CHORUS
SOMETHING BIG IS COMING,
THE LABOR PAINS ARE HERE!!
SOMETHING BIG IS COMING
SO CLOSE AND DRAWING NEAR!!
2ND VERSE
CHAOS AND CONFUSION
CONTINUALLY ON THE RISE,
AS DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
IN DARK SHADOWS LIES!!
IT’S ALMOST MIDNIGHT,
THE HOUR IS VERY LATE!!
SOMETHING BIG IS COMING
ON A VERY IMPORTANT DATE!!
CHORUS
SOMETHING BIG IS COMING,
THE LABOR PAINS ARE HERE,
AS PROMISED EVER SO LONG AGO,
JESUS RETURN DRAWS NEAR!!
LAST VERSE
STORM CLOUDS ARE GATHERING,
AWAKENING DREADFUL FEAR,
TENSION FELT AROUND THE WORLD,
THAT SOMETHING’S ALMOST HERE,
IT’S ALMOST MIDNIGHT,
THE HOUR IS VERY LATE,
ARE WE PREPARED TO MEET OUR LORD,
AT HIS APPOINTED TIME AND DATE?!!
