DANIEL'S PROPHETIC VISIONS

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 with these visions ablaze
there were beasts coming near and I shuddered with fear.
I saw lions and bears with a leopard around
yet no one to rescue, no help to be found.
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
He rose in 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
Then a treaty of peace was signed with the Jews
and the Temple was built with deception it's ruse.

Soon 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 Sword 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 through Christ did atone
For a thousand year reign heaven's Ruler of Peace
will send Satan to Hell and all wars will then cease.
B. Pent
