Mankind worries and rightly so

as our fraqile planet is dyinq slow

we have met the enemy and he is us

now were left to deal with this repercuss,

Where man lived in balance for thousands of years

his respect for the earth has disappeared

in our quest for more, we've abandoned need

and have pursued with lust, old fashioned qreed,

 
The ends justify the means, and situational ethics

corporate profits above all are Big Business rhetoric

now what have we reaped from this seed we have sown

what could be written on civilizations tombstone?

Well...we've had Love Canal in Niagara Falls

and a deadly pesticide leak in Bhopal

Germany's Rhine Rivers seen its dump of toxins

as has Nigeria's leaking PCB concoctions

Besides what we've done to this land that we use

we've polluted our air thru emissions spewed

its effect beyond the smog that we breathe

lies in the acid rain in our lakes beneath.

And what of the ozone layer in the stratosphere

the hole is still growing leaving many feared

as it protects our skin and even crops

the ultraviolet rays it may not stop.

Then the baring of land in deforestation

leading to rainfall decreases and desertification

nuclear waste encased on our oceans floor

and Chernobyl's meltdown in it's reactor's core.

 We've abandoned our God's directive to tend the garden

as we left our first love and our hearts were hardened

and what of personal choices we've embraced of late

promotinq sodomy's lifestyle for tolerance sake

As God announced to Judah in the book of Jeremiah

our own conduct and actions have brouqht this upon us

thouqh God used natural disasters in the qreat qlobal flood

now human activity seems to execute the judgment of God.

How ironic that we've become the instruments of doom

that help fulfill end time prophesies that Revelation illume

how bad will it get for those left behind

not saved in the rapture because they were spiritually blind?

Lets see what’s described as "the beqinning of birth pangs"

what the sign of His coming and the end of the age bring

we see three types of signs which can be examined

an end-times increase in warfare, earthquakes and famines.

Knowledge too shall be increased, but sound doctrine rejected

creation denied but evolution accepted

and two signs that are welcome: the Gospel preached to all nations

and the Jews returning to Israel in unification.

Then after the rapture of those who've trusted in Christ

is global judgment on man as has been prophesied

using our own accomplishments to bring about our demise

as the creations undone right before our eyes.

Since they've rejected Gods Divine highest office

they will suffer under the devil, anti-christ and false prophet

and as the "Seal Judgments" are opened up by the Lamb

we learn of war and destruction and great famines in the land.

We see one quarter of earth's population destroyed

the sun darkened, moon reddened as a Great Earthquake's deployed

then thirty minutes of silence high up in heaven

precede trumpet's blown by the angels of seven.

 The first rained down fire till a third of the earth was burnt up

then a third of sea life and ships were gone real abrupt

a third of fresh water poisoned a third of the heavens went dark

man's stung and tortured five months as demons from the Abyss disembark.

Another 3rd of earth's people killed, by a huge army amassed

half of earth's population now gone, and Lord's victory announced

first half of the tribulation is finished, 42 months left to go

the "Great Tribulation" now starts with the pro-nounced third "Woe".

Mark of the Beast now taken by all but Gods own

horrible sores broken out on the beasts followers alone

next the sea becomes blood, and all sea life has died

then fresh waters affected, and turns to blood now likewise.

The sun goes out of control scorching, so fewer men now are left

but daylight hours are shortened to protect God's elect

the earth is plunged into darkness as their pain is in tensed

yet they harden their hearts more toward God as they refuse to repent.

The river Euphrates dries up allowing the kings of the east

with two hundred million to cross into the middle east

 then the seventh bowl of Divine Wrath is poured into the air, 

 It is Done!,  with flashes of lightninq, thunder, and an earthquake severe.

Jerusalem's split into three as other nations collapse

islands and mountains destroyed, total carnage at last

huge hailstones that weigh 100 Ibs. fall from the sky

changing the surface of the earth under those huge blocks of ice.

Now the merchants of earth mourn, as Babylon is burned

destroyed in one day because, true God they had spurned

now Satan attempts his last tactical move

gathering the worlds armies against God's Chosen Hebrews.

When out of the darkness, with eyes aflame of fire

mounted on a white horse comes Christ in full attire

His vesture dipped in blood, His name the Word of God

He's come to smite the wicked nations with an iron rod.

Followed close behind are His armies out of heaven

riding on white horses, clothed in fine white linen.

With crowns upon Christ's head, He's come as King of Kings

with His sword the "Word of God", all are slain instantly.

And the Beast and the False Prophet, in the Lake of Fire were cast

and Satan in great chain' in the bottomless pit at last.

He'll remain throughout the Millennial Reign of Christ, 1000 years

Then released for a short season till God who devours them appears.

Now he's cast in Lake of Fire where the beast + false prophet are

to be tormented day + night, forever and ever... similar

now the Great White Throne Judgment where all in Hell stand before God

when not found in the Book of Life, the Lake of Fire their travelogue.

Finally comes the "Big Bang", Creations cleansing funeral pyre

New Jerusalem descends to earth, throughout eternity acquired

no more tears, or death or sorrow, no more crying, no more pain

no more darkness as the Lamb of God is the light of this domain.

Here's our hope of life eternal, revealed to us in God's book

and the promise of "A Blessing" to all who read and take a look.

No, if saved we'll not go thru it, for the rapture happens first

so lets share God's Word with others, so they'll not end up accursed.

what you need are sins forgiven, that's provided thru God's Son

when you trust in His Salvation, your new life has just begun

then you live each day in eager, anticipation of the rest

for we know Christ's coming quickly, then when home our soul can rest.
