End Time Story

End Times in Rhymes

The Bible has so many books
You maybe know a few
The first one is called Genesis
You maybe knew that too

It tells about the start of things
Like how the world began
How God created everything
From sky to earth to man

But what you maybe didn't know
I'll try to make it rhyme
The last book - Revelation
Is about the end of time

Now you can't just let a grown up
Read this book without you there
They'll need a child to hold their hand
They might get quite a scare

Just tell them they should just relax
And listen with their heart
Make sure they know the secret code
Before you even start

The secret code is easy
I will tell you what I mean
Just turn to John, the Gospel
And then look up 3:16

You may have hoped inside your mind
The world will never end
You maybe wonder if it's real
Or if it's just pretend

There's other books that you can read
That tell the story too
Like Matthew, Luke and Daniel
So, it surely must be true

So let's get back to all the things
That will be taking place
It's plain that you are wondering
That look is on your face

The Bible says that some will say (Revelation 1:7)
They're Jesus, but they're not (Matthew 24:5)
All eyes will see Him in the clouds (Matthew 24: 23-27)
In case that you forgot (Acts 1:11)

Here a war and there a war (Revelation 6:2)
That's all we'll hear about (2nd Seal)
These are signs that God will send (Revelation 6:4)
And hope we figure it out (Matthew 24:6)

There won't be too much food at all
And it will cost a bunch (3rd Seal)
You may just have to do without (Revelation 6:5-6)
Your breakfast and your lunch (Matthew 24:7)

The next thing to watch out for
Now just listen if you please (4th Seal)
There's going to be pestilence (Revelation 6:8)
That big word means disease (Matthew 24:7)

A lot of Christians will be killed
But you don't have to cry (5th Seal)
'Cause those who trust in Jesus Christ (Revelation 6:9-11)
Their soul will never die (Matthew 24:9)

The earth will shake the sun won't shine
The moon will look like blood (6th Seal)
The stars will even fall to earth (Revelation 6:12-16)
With a great big giant thud (Matthew 24: 21-29)

Now you may think that all that stuff
Is more than you can stand
And now you know why grown ups need you
There to hold their hand

See they just cannot understand
This real important part
Just think of a Nintendo game
And when you're pushing START

You know where all the monsters are
So you are not afraid
But when you didn't know that
Oh how differently you played

Some people ask what life's about
The answer once for all
Is whether you choose good or bad
When satan comes to call

So I remind you once again
Of that old Nintendo game
When you have earned an extra life (Romans 8:11)
In heaven it's kinda the same

The thing that happens after this
Is awesome you'll agree
Jesus will be in the clouds
For every eye to see

And then His angels take some people
When? Nobody knows
The ones who think that Jesus
Really lived and died and rose Romans 10:9

They'll disappear from off the earth (1st Rapture)
To be with God above (Matthew 24:31)
They're the ones who give to Jesus
Faith and hope and love

Then up in heaven it is quiet
For half an hour long (Revelation 8:1)
No hunger, thirst or tears again
With Jesus you belong

And even though you might have heard
Those people left behind
That they will go to hell for sure
Don't pay that any mind

Oh there will be bad times ahead
And things will be quite grim
But God will give another chance
To those who turn to Him

And others will be left to help
And spread the news around
That if they change their evil ways
In heaven they'll be found

So let's get back to what will happen
Next, for those left here
It's not a very pretty sight
Oh Dear - Oh Dear - Oh Dear

Hail and fire mixed with blood
Will fall to earth they say (1st Trumpet)
A third of all the grass and trees (Revelation 8:7)
Are burning all away

A big old mountain burning
Will be thrown into the sea (2nd Trumpet)
A third of all the boats and fish (Revelation 8:8-9)
Destroyed and dead - Oh me

A burning star from heaven
Will fall down out of the sky (3rd Trumpet)
On one third of the rivers (Revelation 8:10-11)
If you drink from them, you'll die

The sun and moon and stars are dark
For one third of the day (4th Trumpet)
There won't be any sunshine (Revelation 8:12-13)
And no moon to light the way

Now when you eat a lot of food
They call you bottomless pit
But there really truly is one
And your belly isn't it

Inside the pit are locusts
That are locked up like a jail
With teeth just like a lion
And a scorpion-like tail

So satan will unlock the pit
And let the locusts out (5th Trumpet)
For five whole months they are allowed (Revelation 9:1-11)
To make folks scream and shout

What could happen worse than that
You may ask in your mind (6th Trumpet)
An army of two hundred million (Revelation 9:13-21)
Kills one third of mankind

But those who finally figure out (2nd Rapture)
The secret code we know (Revelation 10:7)
The Lord will meet them in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17)
And up to heaven they'll go

The kingdoms of the earth become
The kingdoms of the Lord (7th Trumpet)
The bad will get their punishment (Revelation 11:15-18)
The good get their reward

Then God's Temple opens up
And Heaven celebrates (Revelation 11:19)
And all who put their trust in Christ
Are safe in Heaven's gates

Now what do you think happens
To the people who were bad
You wouldn't want to be like them
You'd end up very sad

Oh yes - I almost clean forgot
Old satan has some friends
Who try to get you on their side
Before this stuff all ends

One of them is antichrist
He's full of lies and tricks
And he'll want you to take his mark (Revelation 13:18)
The number 6 6 6

There's also the false prophet
And he really is a fake
He'll do a lot of magic (Revelation 13:11-16)
But he's bad - make no mistake

Now those who trust in antichrist
Get sores that really stink (1st Vial)
They should have trusted Jesus (Revelation 16:1-2)
Yep - they should have stopped to think

Then all the oceans turn to blood
And all the fish will die (2nd Vial)
There won't be any left to bake (Revelation 16:3)
Or microwave or fry

And what do you think happens
To the rivers that were clean (3rd Vial)
They'll turn to blood just like the seas (Revelation 16:4-7)
Do you know what I mean?

The sun will get so very hot
That people will get burned (4th Vial)
It's really such a dog gone shame (Revelation 16:8-9)
You'd think they would have learned

Darkness will be everywhere
And pain will fill the earth (5th Vial)
So much that people chew their tongues (Revelation 16:10-11)
That's all that satan is worth

Satan and his tricky friends
Will tell all of the kings (6th Vial)
To join their fight against our God (Revelation 16:12-14)
They shouldn't do such things (Armageddon)

Then there will be a voice so great
Who says that IT IS DONE (7th Vial)
And the biggest earthquake ever (Revelation 16:17)
No it won't be any fun

Now don't you worry - not one bit
God's children will be blessed (Revelation 19:7-9)
They get to be with Jesus now
Would you have ever guessed?

And in the mean time down below
Old satan and his crew (Revelation 20:2-3)
Are locked up for a thousand years (Millennium)
Yes, that's what God will do

And when a thousand years has passed
And satan is let out
He'll try to beat God once again (Revelation 20:7-8)
That's all he is about

But once again, this time for good
Old satan and his men (Revelation 20:10)
Are thrown into a lake of fire
And never seen again

Now what about the things on earth
'Cause God created them
Well - He'll create a new earth (Revelation 21:1-2)
Called the New Jerusalem

And God will live with all of us
There won't be day or night
Cause God and Jesus will be there (Revelation 21:23)
And they will be the light

The water will be crystal clear
It all will be so nice
It's what we've all been waiting for (Revelation 22:1-5)
It will be - Paradise

If life is like Nintendo
And you really want to win
At every level that you reach
The monster is called sin

You do not have to hit it
With a bullet or a few
Just ask yourself the simple truth
Now what would Jesus do?

Is heaven where you want to go?
There's lots of us who care
We'll pray that you choose Jesus (Revelation 22:14)
And we'll hope to see you there
