Suppose He Comes Today

We have heard it said for years
Christ may come today
This fills many hearts with fears
People wonder, “Will we be caught away”

What prophecy must He yet fulfill
For Him to come to the clouds
The trumpet will sound through the still
We will rise to meet Him in the crowds

Believers who have died will rise first in the air
Believers who are alive will follow behind
We’ll be with Him, and have eternity to share
What a wonderful promise for saved mankind

Where will you be on this promised day
Do you know Him as your Saviour, my friend
If you know Him, you will be snatched away
The marriage supper of the Lamb you will attend

The seven years of Tribulation will be beyond belief
The horrors of death will be everywhere
People remaining will know unspeakable grief
People who reject Christ now have not a prayer

No one knows the day or the hour
Only God, the Father, knows
Trust Him for salvation, know His power
When Christ appears, you’ll be one who goes

You did a good job with this poem.. this is on my mind too.. and yesterday I watched the movie "Left Behind" and it really brought it all to life..I am sure this event is closer than we might think.

Songbird; I realize this is written using pretty straight talk.  I did that because I too believe we are close.  There is no prophecy left to fulfill prior to the Rapture (snatching away of the believers).  We need to be alert to how things are beginning to be put together for the Tribulation. As I understand scripture the Rapture will occur prior to the Tribulation.  We know from Scripture a seven year peace treaty has to be signed in the Middle East between the Antichrist and Israel.  The temple has to be rebuilt, etc.  There are those who have heard the gospel presentation, understood and rejected it with the thought, "I can always do this later."  If the Rapture occurs, and those individuals are left behind, they won't get another opportunity to trust Christ during the Tribulation.  That is so sad; if only people could realize there is an urgency.  Behold today is the day of salvation; tomorrow may actually be too late.  

Oh, by the way, I have seen that movie as well.  Wanda

Great reminder to us Wanda.  Joyce

Joyce; Indeed we should all be ready.  No one knows the day or hour, only the Father.  Wanda
