Time For Revelation Poem by Denis Martindale

Now's the time for revelation!
Now's the time for truth!
Now's the time for inspiration
Regardless of one's youth!
For time and times as yet to be,
For guidance day-by-day...
Yes, now's the time for sights to see
And what's still on its way!

As I knelt down beside my bed
In prayer, yet close to sleep,
A vision came to me instead,
A message I must keep...
A message that was so profound,
I trembled there and then,
I saw God's angels all around,
Fly down and capture men...

'What means this, Lord? ' I asked of Him,
'Are these the damned, the lost? '
For I saw smiling seraphim
Who knew Christ paid the cost...
The Lord explained His rescue plan,
To snatch saved souls from Earth...
The Rapture of each Christian man,
Who by faith proved his worth...

Then women, too, were lifted high,
With children of the Lord,
A saw a million flying high
For grace was their reward...
Then darkness fell, the Earth went black,
The moon went red as blood,
Then demons swooped down to attack
In one foul-stenching flood...

The Earth let out a gruesome groan,
Its like none heard before,
Volcanoes spewed, their vomit thrown,
Cast down from shore-to-shore...
Tornadoes raged from West-to-East,
As if they knew the worst!
Then I beheld the blackbeard Beast,
The Man of Sin God cursed...

My eyes wept sore at cruelties
And blasphemies revealed,
The horrors and the bare-faced lies
And nothing was concealed...
Then Armageddon, plain as day,
With sunshine overhead,
Then suddenly, like Judgment Day,
The rank and file were dead...

And thousands by the thousands there...
Yet not one breath at all..
One second they were so aware,
Yet then I saw them fall...
As dead as dead as dead could be,
Warm blood was now so cold,
Affecting every enemy
Who thought himself as bold...

The vision ended silent, still,
My mind in turmoil now
And I remained there feeling ill,
With sweat upon my brow...
My trembling flesh was quivering,
So many men were slain...
With God above delivering
His chosen once again...

I stayed awake the whole night long,
My mouth still opened wide,
No longer feeling quite as strong,
Still churning here inside...
Not fit to stand or walk around,
Not fit to pray a word,
Recalling sights that still astound
And screams still overheard...

God spoke again, 'Be brave, My child...
Arise to greet the dawn...
You can't help them, they were defiled...
No reason, then, to mourn...'
So I arose and life went on,
My eyes no longer blind...
Because I knew I'd soon be gone
And not be left behind...
