"Faith"

There will come a time, When all will change. An evil will come among us, Unknown in the beginning. This evil one will be the worst, Far more so than any other. He will become a leader, Over all the new nations. This evil one will change things, Even the governments we know so well. He will gather among him all unbelievers, And make them his lackies and demons. He will eventually reveal To all the world, That he is the living god, But he is not. Do not listen to his lies, For he spreads evil all thru. Keep to your faith No matter what. Lo, before he comes into power, All of Earth will suffer loss. Loved ones will disappear, And all the cities will crumble. I hope I am among the First, To go into Heaven. I do not wish to see what happens, While the rest do suffer. I must keep my faith, And do good things. I wish to be rewarded, In the Gloriousness of Jesus. I have read the scriptures, And know what will be. I have read many books, Concerning the coming of our Lord. My prayers go out to all, Who do believe in Him. And I also pray, For those who do not. If you do not believe now, You must begin the study. For if you're still here when Satan comes, You will be here after. I will not go into all that will be, Because it will not be pretty you see. There will be deaths aplenty, That much is very certain. It doesn't matter what religion, Just believe in God and His Son. Keep the faith in your heart And earn your way into Heaven. Witness to others along the way, And help them learn the Goodness of God. Pray for those who do not believe, That they will become believers before the end. by Jann Newland (copyright April, 2004) (This poem was inspired by the "Left Behind" series of books, co-authored by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.  There are 12 books in this series and if you've not read them yet, I pray you do soon.)
