ISRAEL MY GLORY

                 



                    
                DANIEL 9:24-27
WHILE READING JEREMIAH'S SCROLLS
THE PROPHET SENSED THE TIME HAD COME
FOR JUDAH TO BE FREED AT LAST
FROM SOVEREIGN JUDGMENT FOR THEIR PAST.

THROUGH DANIEL'S INTERCESSORY PRAYER
WITH DEEP CONTRITION FOR THEIR GUILT
A BROKEN HEART BEFORE GOD'S THRONE
BECAME THE GIFT THAT WOULD ATONE.

THE ANGEL THEN REVEALED A PLAN
BY USING MULTIPLES OF YEARS
THE TIME OF CURSE WOULD FINALLY END
WITH PROMISED BLESSINGS TO ATTEND.

BEFORE THE CHART COULD BE EXPLAINED
THE ANGEL MADE IT VERY CLEAR
THE DUAL SUBJECTS OF HIS WILL
REFERRED TO JEWS AND ZION'S HILL.

THE WEEKS OF YEARS THAT STRETCHED THROUGH TIME
WILL BRING AN END TO WICKEDNESS
FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL CROWN THE LAND
WHEN GOD'S ANOINTED TAKES HIS STAND.

FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY THREE LONG YEARS
BEGAN WITH BUILDING ZION'S WALL
BUT WHEN THE PRINCE, MESSIAH CAME
UPON THE CROSS HE HUNG IN SHAME.

THE PROPHET'S CLOCK THEN STOPPED IN TIME
AND SOON ROME'S FORCES CRUSHED "THE LAND."
BUT TWENTY CENTURIES NOW HAVE PAST
YET HATRED FOR THE JEWS STILL LAST.

THEN GOD REVEALED ONE FINAL WEEK
WHEN IN THE MIDST OF WORLD WIDE STRIFE
TEN NATIONS WILL ARISE TO CLAIM
THE KINGDOM ROME ONCE RULED WITH FAME.

THE BEAST WHO'S "LITTLE HORN"APPEARS
WILL BE THE COUNTERFEIT OF CHRIST
WHOSE SIGNS AND WONDERS ON DISPLAY
PROPELS HIM TO BE KING THAT DAY.

A TREATY SIGNED FOR SEVEN YEARS
BETWEEN THE ARABS AND THE JEWS
WILL MARK THE TRIBULATION START
BEFORE ALL NATIONS FALL APART.

THE ANTICHRIST WILL MOVE FROM ROME
AND CLAIM THE TEMPLE FOR HIS THRONE
WITH BROKEN TREATIES NOW IN TWO
HE'LL TRY TO KILL OFF EVERY JEW.

WHILE ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH
ARE GATHERING ON MEGIDDO'S PLAIN
THE WARRIOR KING FROM HEAVEN'S THRONE
WILL MAKE HIS AWESOME PRESENCE KNOWN.

WITH JUST ONE WORD AT HIS COMMAND
THE NATIONS UNDER ANTICHRIST
WILL ALL BE SWEPT FROM EARTH TO HELL
AS HIS PREDICTIONS DO FORETELL.--B. Pent

MEDO-PERSIA AND GREECE

            DANIEL 8

WHILE BABYLON'S POWER BEGAN TO WANE
THE PROPHET SAW A VISION CLEAR
THE NEXT TWO KINGDOMS TO ARISE
WERE SEEN IN RAMS AND GOAT DISGUISE.

THE RAM'S TWO HORNS WERE JUST THE SAME
AS DANIEL'S VISION OF THE BEAR
ALONG WITH SILVER ARMS AND CHEST
THE MEDO-PERSIANS PUSHED OUT WEST.

WHEN CYRUS FORMED HIS POWER GRID
NO ARMY WAS AS LARGE OR STRONG
IMPREGNABLE WAS BABYLON'S CLAIM
YET ON DRY BANKS HER CONQUEROR'S CAME.

IN TIME THE JEWS RETURNED TO BUILD
THEIR TEMPLE AND THEIR BROKEN WALLS
WHILE PERSIA PUSHED BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH
ITS LONG PREDICTED RULE PLAYED OUT.

A SUDDEN CHANGE CAME INTO VIEW
THE GREAT-HORNED GOAT CAME CHARGING THROUGH
IT WAS THE KING OF GRECIAN FAME
TWAS ALEXANDER'S FEAR FILLED NAME.

IN EIGHT SHORT YEARS HIS KINGDOM SPREAD
FROM EGYPT'S SHORE TO INDIA'S HEAD
BUT ONCE THE GOAT'S GREAT HORN WAS BROKE
FOUR OTHER SMALLER HORNS AWOKE.

CASSANDER RULED THE WESTERN FLANK
LYSIMACUS THE NORTHERN PART
SELEUCUS TOOK THE EASTERN SEAT
WITH PTOLEMY AT EGYPT'S FEET.

BUT WHAT PERPLEXED THE PROPHET MOST
WAS FROM THESE HORNS A SMALL ONE ROSE
A KING WITH FIERCE AND CRUEL INTENT
WITH EVERY FORM OF EVIL BENT.

ANTIOCHUS EPIPHANES
REMOVED THE TEMPLE'S SACRIFICE
BY DESECRATING YAHWEH'S NAME
AND OFFERING BLOOD THAT BROUGHT HIM SHAME.

BUT THEN THE ANGEL SEEMED TO POINT
TO YET A FUTURE LITTLE HORN
WHO CLAIMED THE RIGHT TO DAVID'S THRONE
PROCLAIMING HE WAS CHRIST ALONE.

THE SHADOW OF ANTIOCHUS
A PROTOTYPE OF ANTICHRIST
HAS FOLLOWED HISTORY THROUGH EACH AGE
AS DEMAGOGUES ON EUROPE'S STAGE.
