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.
