Chronicling the Future

In looking back, history,

the prophecies, the dreams,

the visions of Daniel

chronicling the future

the kingdoms that would rise and fall

the wars between heaven and hell

the fight that is yet to come

the return of the Son of Man

for us history

the prophecy of Daniel

the interpretation of his dream

for us history

what has already been

but prophecy remaining

the time of the end

the rise of the anti-Christ

but we know not when

the prophecy fulfilled

the dream come to life

most of it history

but some yet to come.

written in Hebrew

not in Aramaic

not for the local people only

but for posterity

a prophecy, a vision

of the end times, the future

written in a language to share

to pass down to the generation

the anti-christ

these visions, these dreams

long before Christ

foretelling the anti-christ

the end times

seal up the vision

to terrible, the future

the times we live in

or so it now seems

too much of the visions

the dreams of the prophets

unfolding, coming true

not wanting to see

the anti-Christ coming

as foreseen by the prophet

hate for God’s people

a scourge on the earth

which are the ten empires

As we look back on history

to see the truth of prophecy

the ten kingdoms that would rise

marking the end times

Fulfilling the vision

those opposed to God, to Christ

the ones that would rise, crumble

return to the dust

Which are the ten empires

who are the ten kings

how many have run their course

how many are to come

Which of the end times

are we journeying in

the battle is already raging

but which time are we in

His kingdom will not end

there was no beginning

because He was before time

there before the beginning

He and God are one

His kingdom will not end

His rule eternal

at God’s appointed time

He will return to claim us

God’s chosen people

the people of the flock

the followers of the Savior

to be gathered up.
