Trust The Promises
By: Maxine M
Man for centuries have studied the Bible to learn how this age will end
Pondered prophecies and the mysterious message they send
Written their own books, part fact & part fiction, all to our curiosity lend
We also scan the headlines, try to determine just what they mean
Worry and wonder where in prophecy can THIS be seen?
But shouldn't we, just on Jesus' promises lean?
"Behold!! I am coming soon" was the SURE promise Jesus made
"Where I am, there you'll also be" was the message He relayed
"Your salvation is assured", "For sin's debt, MY blood paid"
So why try to figure out the future's small details
Become upset and confused if a favorite theory fails
Faith says- The words God forecast certainly will prevail
Please don't rely on the "Endtime" version Hollywood may present
It's sure to have a skeptical, liberal Bent
Instead, follow the TRUSTWORTHY servants God has sent
It's our human nature that wants to boast- "I Understand",
All these "latter day" mysteries God has planned
When WATCH-Be READY! was Jesus's unmistakable command
Now, if we are ready, shouldn't we READY others in addition
Tell them of the love of Jesus...rescue others from sin's condition
Instead of spending time trying to name "the son of perdition"
Or sorting out what is symbolic from what is literal in Rev's dramatic scenes
To whom or what the term Babylon really means
One writer has this theory...the next, a different direction leans
For we must not be decieved by false teaches, not accept everything one hears
Stick to Bible truths and not listen to fortunetelling seers
But Revelation's picture has become a LITTLE clearer over the years
Once seemed impossible, the whole world could see 2 witnesses lying in the street
Now, with the web and television, that doesn't seem such a gigantic feat
Modern technology will easily allow the anti-Christ...the whole world to greet
Years ago people wondered how one's flesh, eyes and tongue could just dissolve
While standing on their feet. But in out nuclear age, that puzzle is solved
A chilling and frightening picture...when God's enemies get involved
These will be terrible days, the bible warns...leaving a confusing haze
Love will grow cold, lawlessness abound, many singing satan's praise
But Jesus promised, for the elect's sake, the Father would shorten these days
All the events foretold are a certainty, not a scary terrifying fable
The Father, in His wisdom, just didn't include a time table
Promising, if we fully trust in HIM, our future will be oh so stable
So, BE AWAKE! BE AWARE! of what the signs show
But lets not follow every theory that fluently flow
Just confidently leave our days ahead in the Hands of the ONE who knows
