Anticipation

While I agree with my friend who contends that we shouldn't focus on our Messiah's return to heavily, it's right at the door. Study end time prophecy and watch the evening news and you'll understand that it is very near. While we can't put a day or hour to it, the signs of the times speak for themselves. Living amidst the world's wickedness, it truly is our blessed hope.

ANTICIPATION

Filled with hopeful longing,

Excited anticipation,

The signs are lining up,

Prophecy is being fulfilled,

Right before our eyes,

The daily news,

Confirms Scripture,

Its predictions,

Their accuracy,

Right at the door,

It's time,

His redemption is here,

God's promises are true,

We're going home,

To a sinless kingdom,

With a righteous King,

With no more wars,

Power hungry humans,

Brokenness,

Evil,

As wickedness flourishes,

Grieves our hearts,

Hurting people bring tears,

With joyous expectation,

We await Messiah's return.
