Second Advent

by Gay Brown

When will you return
Can you tell us what day
'Let no man deceive you'
Christ Jesus did say
Luke 21:7

Nation against nation
famines and war
troubles and earthquakes
sorrows and more
Matt 24:7

False prophets, seducers
will rise and show signs deceiving
the whole world, impregnating
their minds
Matt 24:24
2 Thess 2:9

And one who exalteth
himself above all
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
this temple will fall
Thess 2:4

Don't be taken by satan
when he comes on his steed
to conquer God's children
to satisfy his greed
Rev 6:2

He'll come at the 6th trump
get ready to fight
for he comes with deception
as an angel of light
2 Cor 11:14

The elect will stand ready
prepared for the test
by speaking in Spirit
to redeem all the rest
Matt 10:19

And the two sons of oil
walk in the light
preparing the way
with all power and might
Rev 11:16

The beast shall arise
the two prophets will die
all peoples and kindreds
with joy they all cry
Rev 11:17

Three and more days
they lie in the street
till life enters in them
and they stand to their feet
Rev 11:11

The crowds are afrightened
they shake with great fear
for the 7th trump has sounded
and Jesus is here
Rev 11:15

Heaven is opened
and beheld in our view
Dear Lord and saviour
called faithful and true
Rev 19:11

When the Lord himself comes
When the trump of God sounds
All the dead in Christ with Him
As He decends to the ground
1 Thess 4:14,16

We all shall be changed
In the wink of an eye to be
with our Lord as He comes
From on high
1 Cor 15:52

He comes on a white horse
Our King and Lord He
Will rule all the nations
with rod and a sword
Rev 19:15

Then Christ Jesus prevails
Satan bound by a chain
Cast into the pit and
There he remains
Rev 20: 1,2

For one thousand years
With Christ we shall reign
Till Satan is loosed
To deceive once again
Rev 20:7

And those who walk with him
Will be cast in the fire
With the Beast and the Prophet
And Satan the liar!
Rev 21:10

But for those who find life
What a day that will be
To bask in His glory
Throughout eternity
