Beginning of the End

Vultures chew the carnage

Flap around the corpses 

Death and judgment come 

Riding on black horses 

Kingdoms from the east 

In such a large array 

Xerxes's horde was nothing 

Compared to this display 

John said they are coming 

He said "prepare the way" 

But a way for evil comes 

Before we pass away 

The chosen people fight 

Surrounded on all sides 

While prisoners from the USA 

Are left alone to die 

As global elite take power 

And the Nations stand United 

Your waxen candles of your faith 

Should finally be lighted 

Ask about the Americans 

Forsaken in Benghazi 

Ask about the FEMA camps 

And about the Illuminati 

Ask about the reestablishment 

Of Kingdoms such as Rome 

Daniel told of prophecies 

We could not have known 

Ask about the recreation 

Of wicked Babylon 

By a man - Saddam Hussein 

Known as Satan's spawn 

Ask about the world 

And look up at the moon 

Repent of all your evilness 

The Judge is coming soon! 

Ask about the temple 

Ask about the plans 

Ask your dearest friends 

If they are saved or damned 

Ask about the sanctifying 

With extinct Red Heifer ash 

Ask the American farmers 

Raising one for Israel fast 

Ask about the anointing oil 

Lost but now located 

Everything all but in place 

As if it's coordinated 

Ask about the ELS 

Encoded in the scripture 

Ask about the references 

To the holocaust and Hitler 

Ask the statisticians 

Who calculated the odds 

That throughout history mankind's pain 

Was there - "the Word was God"! 

The Word of God unfeasible! 

He cried out in secret text 

In such a way that's mathematically 

Impossible to be correct 

Ask about the Cross 

About the burial place 

Ask about but don't forget 

There are others with a faith 

Ask about the warriors 

Committed to the Qur'an 

Ask about the book of Surah 

The Jihad of Islam 

Ask about the bombers 

And speak to those who doubt 

These are not the radicals 

These are the devout 

The kingdom from the East 

Will dry up the Euphrates 

And Daniel says when they draw near 

We're closer then to Hades 

Ask about the birth rate 

Of males who are Chinese 

Ask about their highway 

Being built for warring ease 

Ask about the other kingdoms 

Nebuchadnezzar's dreams 

Ask about the prophecies 

And what these things all mean 

This is our generation 

The fig tree and its roots 

The battle has begun 

So let us bear some fruit 

The harvest is upon us 

The vineyard looks so bare 

What if He comes and finds us 

Caught up in these snares? 

So ask about the Judgement Day 

And the King upon His throne 

But before you ask about The End 

Ask about your own.

Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.

Luke 21:28 

Pride Before Destruction

Pride goes before destruction

Pride went before the fall

Before the fall of angels

And Eden’s guarded walls

It went before the kings of old

Like Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar

I AM said “Let my people go”

Pharaoh answered “Never!”

It went before the Pharisees

Who slew the Son of Man

He came in humble mercy

They nailed Him through the hands

Pride goes before destruction

And the evil that it brings

Pride throws us in a pigsty

And declares that we’re the “king”

Pride says “Live it up”

And then we go in debt

Jesus says “Give it up”

And we live with no regret

We become Egyptian kings

We hoard till there’s no room

Foolishly we crave and grab

To fill a lifeless tomb

Pride goes before destruction

It leads us by the hand

It owns us all like cattle

And we bear the devil’s brand

Our lord and savior “me”

Our god and king “ourselves”

The only kingdom that we rule

Is emptiness of hell

In hot pursuit of value

That we don’t even have

We think that voicing lordship

Will build us golden calves

Pride goes before destruction

And then it follows later

It covers up its failures

Like a shifty debater

Pride makes us all ashamed

To be just who we are

God made us in His image

Pride says we’re under par

Pride hints that we deserve

To meet some greater standard

Pride says since we don’t

Our bodies can be bantered

Pride goes before destruction

And others do not wait

To pass the greatest judgment

Woven through with hate

Pride takes our inner standard

And measures those we see

As if we are lord and king

Of what is Right to Be

Pride destroys ourselves

And then it turns on others

Pride makes us all be elevated

Trade your staircase for your brother

Pride goes before destruction

Before “ego,” before “esteem”

Pride goes before the knife

And the bloody scars that stream

Pride in who we want to be

Pride in who we’re not

Illogically it makes much sense

Like most of Satan’s plots

Cut your body, cut your soul

Pride only hates you more

Pride never rewards you for your service

It even cast Satan away from the Lord

Pride goes before destruction

Pride is a monster of all sins

Pride makes you feel so special

As it kills you on a whim

Pride is a great disease

It just cannot be cured

Fight against it all you can

For when it rains it pours

Pride says “stand up straight”

So kneel in prayer as you deplete  

It’s better to live on your knees

Then to die standing on your feet

Temporary Tomb

A man lies in his comfort

His eyes are closed in slumber

All around his sides

His bed is cushioned lumber

His body is relaxed

His breathing is so deep

He feels so undisturbed

As he gets his sleep

Jolted wide awake

From something in his room

His deepest sleep and recluse

Was a temporary tomb

A man lies in his comfort

His eyes are closed in slumber

All around his sides

His coffin's made of lumber

His body is relaxed

But his spirit's in the Deep

His soul is far away

As his body gets its sleep

Jolted by some robbers

Lit up by the moon

The gravesite is exploited

A temporary tomb

The man lies in discomfort

By souls of men - encumbered

His sides are slashed and torn

As he dangles from the lumber

His body is racked with pains

His breathing is so labored

So thirsty that a sponge

In vinegar is savored

The man says "It is finished!"

They seal away the Groom

But the stone can't keep Him locked

Within His temporary tomb

The girl looks in the mirror

With disgust written on her face

And with her cuts she tells herself

Her body's a waste of space

Her soul is what's eternal

Her body is a home

The Holy Spirit and her soul

Inside her flesh and bones

She's based her worth on Nothing

She'll have a new body soon

And now she holds the Great I AM

In her temporary tomb

We're dying once we're born

Our bodies all decay

Yet we seem to base our worth

On what will pass away

But if we derive such meaning

From our bodies and our minds

Who then are we once we die

And leave those things behind?

You're beautiful, Beloved

And have been since the womb

Don't base your eternal value

On a temporary tomb
