THE FUTURE IS NOW!

Were you ever asleep
and awoke with a start
by a dream that seemed real
with some monster at your heel?
With a sudden surprise
as I opened my eyes
some giant-like screen
dropped down from the skies.

I sat there amazed
like a vision ablaze
there were beasts coming near
and I shuddered in fear.
there were lions and bears
with a leopard around
yet no one to rescue
no help to be found.

Then a monster-like Beast
indescribably cruel
with ten horns on it head
arose to its feet
and like Rome with its iron
in league with the clay
it was weakened in strength
and began to decay.

Looking closer I found
in the midst of its horns
a master-deceiver
proclaimed as the Christ
arose from this vision
like a demon from hell
and with wondrous signs
began to foretell

The world was amazed
that this leader from Rome
could so quickly arise
to Europe's gold throne
but a treaty of peace
was signed with the Jews
and the Temple was built
with deception it's ruse.

Then a Dragon was seen
with its fury unleashed
with destruction and death
causing pain and distress
knowing soon his demise
would reveal his disguise
with the kingdoms of earth
coming under God's curse.

Then a Stone could be seen
rolling down from a cliff
making chaff of this Frame
bringing Nations to shame
for the word of His mouth
will make dust of this clod
and the earth will give birth
to the kingdom of God.

Then the heavens rejoiced
as the King took His throne
with the Bride at His side
who in Christ did atone
for a thousand year reign
the rule of His peace
will spread through the earth
and all wars will then cease.
--B. Pent
