The End of Days

Inspired by Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21:5-36

Jesus said,
"There will be a time of great persecution
Believers will be dragged into prisons
You will stand trial before others
Because you are my followers

"You'll be betrayed by those deeply trusted
Leaving you hurt and feeling disgusted 
But this will be a great opportunity
To tell the whole world about me

"Do not worry about defending yourself
God's own Spirit will provide help
You will be given the right words and wisdom
That your opponents can't argue against them


"At the end of days 
Many will claim to be the Savior
So don't be fooled by their misbehavior
You'll hear of wars and insurrections
Nation will fight against other nations

"There'll be earthquakes, plagues, and famine
and also miraculous signs from heaven
You'll be terrorized by fearful harpies
As the holy city is surrounded by armies

"Those will be the days of God's vengeance
So get on your knees in deep repentance
The moon gives no light; the sun darkened
Stars fall from the sky as heaven is shaken

"Behold I come riding on a cloud
Wickedness will be disavowed
For I am the judge and jury
Coming with power and great glory

"All of heaven and earth will perish
And humanity can no longer be nourished
But my people of faith should persevere
Because my words will never disappear"

The True Enemy

Inspired by Numbers 25 & Matthew Henry's commentary While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove To defile themselves the men willingly chose Seduced by Moabite women and their deities Making the Lord angry and release His fury Rapport with the wicked is more harmful than enmity It is our immoral desires that is the true enemy Giving into worldly interests and its pleasures Forgetting to put the Lord at our core and center Let us execute His vengeance in zeal and faith To remain in His good graces and holy estate So God may make a special covenant of peace And His divine favor upon us may increase God punishes the wicked not with a rod But with swords exposing their profane facade Punishing those who tempt others to fail While His righteousness will always prevail

More Than Conquerers

Inspired by Matthew Henry's  commentary  on Numbers chapter 21 Before our march to the Promised Land We may find ourselves in enemy's hands But let us look thoroughly to the Lord Our only way to keep moving forward So instead of Arad, we have Hormah As the enemy's sins are enormous God will bring about their destruction His love for His children brings protection But as we continue on our journey We can be impatient and be in a hurry Then complain about the Lord's provision Bringing about the Lord's derision The serpent comes back to bite at our heels Making our grievances his meal Our very lives does he greedily steal Making us look up so we can be healed Look up and see the serpent of bronze Do not fear death that corresponds The venom may stir up our sinful passions But only the Lord can bring salvation Do not forget and always remember When God blessed us with living water Our expectations should be tempered And only rely on His Grace and His Favor Wicked men tr...
