The Second Coming of Christ

With the kingdoms of this world now His, He sets up His throne.

Posted on

On His white horse, He rides with sword in hand.
He comes to take vengeance on those who disdain.
As the last trumpet blows, He signals, He is ready.
Gathering the righteous together, they’re caught up.
From the four winds, they’re gathered for the great battle.

With new celestial bodies, saints of God are changed.
In the twinkling of an eye, they come, meeting Him in the air.
As the corruptible puts on incorruption, they’re ready.
Leaving behind the sting of death, they engage in newfound victory.
Ready to engage in the great battle, they mount up.

As the seventh angel pours his bowl, a loud shout is heard.
The voice from the temple shouts, “It is done!”
A great noise is heard with thunderings and lightnings.
A great and mighty earthquake shakes the land.
As every island and mountain disappear, they ride.

With Armageddon as their destination, they follow.
He who rides the white horse leads them into the great battle.
In flaming fire, they come to punish with everlasting destruction.
The serpent of old is bound and thrown into the bottomless pit.
A thousand years, he’s bound until loosed again for a short season.

With the kingdoms of this world now His, He sets up His throne.
They sit and dine together with all the patriarchs of old.
For a thousand years, they dwell in peace in His presence.
They build, plant, and rule, waiting for the new heavens and earth.
New Jerusalem comes with walls of Jasper and a city of pure gold.

Blessed are those who have part in the first resurrection.
Eye has not seen nor ear heard what the Lord has prepared for them.
They bask in His presence with hearts continually filled with praise.
They worship the One who was worthy to open and loose the seals.
Worthy is He who was slain and is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
