Come and see our ancient foe prance and frolic throughout the earth!
Tears streaming, I watched as Satan's beautiful seductive masterpiece,
Riding a stunning white horse full of dead man's bones,
Deliciously galloped over unsuspecting masses and conceited highborn!

I sobbed, "Do not be deceived!” but no one heeded still small voices!
All were so eager to welcome enticing promises of new-world orders
And to embrace grandiose doctrines of man born in utter darkness.
Trembling, I fearfully awaited the words and events that would follow.

Come and see the aftermath wrought by the ultimate pied piper!
I looked and observed wars and rumors of wars in full flower.
All were riding blood red horses scourging the earth with gladness.
Falling, I numbly awaited the words and events that would follow.

Come and see the collapse of progressive social orders big and small!
I shuttered as fierce black horses invaded once proud lands with ease
Delivering chaotic gifts of famine, pestilence, and economic despair.
Mourning, I bitterly awaited the words and events that would follow.

Come and see the final judgment of wicked Babylonian insanity!
I raised my head to observe thin pale horses feeding on human carnage
And Lucifer laughing as Christless souls sank into hell to join the beast.
Moaning, I pleaded with my host, "Please sir, no more horses!"

A gentle voice beckoned, "You must come and see this one last sight."
Eyes slowly opening, I saw a magnificent White Horse coming from afar.
Terrified, I screamed, "No! Not again!” as the Fifth Horseman approached,
But then I beheld a most glorious form, the Rider called Faithful and True!

Leaping with song and joy, I immediately proclaimed,
"Thank God for His Horseman and the restoration He brings!
Thank God for the Lamb and the Lion's eternal reign!
Praise God for He comes to make things…new again!"

The book of Revelation! Intriguing book and full of symbology! Yes, indeed He will make things right and rejuvinated! Amen to that!

I 'echo' the amen!
