The Final Struggle
In the last days of this old earth,
a time of trouble like has never
been will spread it’s curse.
The people of God will weather
A hardship to keep God first.
The power of God will slowly
be withdrawn from the earth.
Those righteous left alive fully
realize what they are worth.
They are sealed in their foreheads.
Death before sin,— which is worse.
They stand firm, their course set.
Like Job, before denying God, he would die first.
Their food and water is sure.
But, like Jesus on the cross,
when he cried out “My God,
My God. Why have you forsaken me?”
When God withdraws they feel the loss.
But, they stand firm. They watch to see
Jesus coming in the sky with the host
of heaven surrounding Him. They
will sing a new song that will boast.
“Here is our God.” “ We are saved.”
“He is whom we have waited for.”
Those that are dead will raise first.
Then those alive will ascend for
translation not seeing death’s curse.
O praise the Lord. No greater day
can there be. Loved ones meet
hugging each other in joy and say
“Praise the Lord, our soul to keep.”————-R. W. Johnson—-2012)
