Is This the End
It was 1989 in California game three of the World Series when suddenly
The stadium shook people started to scream and a plastic sign fell from above
It crashed in front of me and I read the words from John 3:16
But no one seemed to care, they were panicking
And along with me trampled over the sign
The scene stayed in my mind though my life moved on
Until I saw another sign written in the sky
It said: Jesus is coming are you ready for Him?
And it made me look around at the world I was in
In the paper I read that an earthquake had caused a tsunami and 230, 000 deaths
Famine was raging in Ethiopia
And thousands each day died from Malaria (Matt. 24: 7)
I passed a bum, passed out and drunk
I stumbled upon what he was sleeping on
I picked it up, an unused Bible, a pillow for a fallen man
I started to read about this Jesus I had heard of
And if I believed in Him I would be saved
From all of the calamities that were sure to come (1 Thess. 4: 17)
And some were already here, I'd witnessed one
So I said a little prayer and accepted God's Son
Into my life and the Bible as His Word I read
There will be wars
(But He said not to let that trouble me) (Matt. 24: 6)
Pestilences (Luke 21: 11)
(I trust in Him I know that all this must be) (Matt 24: 6)
Earthquakes in diverse places
(Until He comes in great power and glory) (Matt. 24: 30)
False christs and prophets (Matt 24: 24)
(Jesus is my Christ and Prophet) (Matt 16: 16; Heb. 1: 1-2)
(I'm ready, is this the end?)
For nation will rise against nation and kingdom to kingdom
There'll be famines and droughts and diseases
Tornados, volcanoes, tidal waves, and hurricanes
Like the earth itself is experiencing birth pains (Matt. 24: 7-8)
Before the earth gives birth to the second coming
Of our Lord and Savior, the earth's Creator (Matt. 24: 30; John 1: 3)
It will quake and shake and the whole face of the earth will change
Mountains will be made low and the valleys high (Luke 3: 5)
Israel became its own nation back in 1948
And Jesus said this generation will not pass away (Matt. 24: 34)
Until all this takes place and God says that's a 120 years (Gen. 6: 3)
Israel is surrounded by its enemies (Luke 21: 20)
All of this is fulfilled in Bible prophecies
Wonders in heaven and earth will be shown to us (Acts 2: 19)
But still many won't believe
The sun will be darkened (Matt 24: 29)

(But He said not to let that trouble me) (Matt. 24: 6)
And the moon will turn to blood (Matt 24: 29)
(I trust in Him I know that all this must be) (Matt. 24: 6)
The stars will fall from heaven (Matt 24: 29)
(Until He comes in great power and glory) (Matt. 24: 30)
The powers of heaven will be shaken
(I'll look for His signs I'm ready, is this the end?) (Matt. 24: 30)
No one knows when He'll come only the Father knows
Not even angels in Heaven, nor the Son (Matt. 24: 36)
Therefore stay awake, for you do not know on what day
Your Lord is coming, stay awake! (Matt. 24: 42)
I want to stay awake and not be led astray
By the flattering words and great signs and wonders
Of the false prophets and false christs (Matt. 24: 24)
That have arrived among us today
I was walking down the street and I met some messengers
From the 'Only True and Living Church' in ties and white shirts they said
Twelve apostles and a prophet live today, but I knew what the Bible said
So I rejected it because I knew that believing in Christ
Was also believing in all His Word and living it (John 14: 23)
The fruit of true faith is good works, no other way to put it (James 2: 14)
And helps us endure the end (Matt. 24: 13)
There will be wars
(But He said not to let that trouble me) (Matt. 24: 6)
Pestilences (Luke 21: 11)
(I trust in Him I know that all this must be) (Matt 24: 6)
Earthquakes in diverse places
(Until He comes in great power and glory) (Matt. 24: 30)
False christs and prophets (Matt 24: 24)
(Jesus is my Christ and Prophet) (Matt 16: 16; Heb. 1: 1-2)
(I'm ready, is this the end?)
As I walked away I saw another person right in front of me
Drop a piece of paper he had just received
From a Christian minister upon the street
I lifted it up and uncrumpled it
My eyes filled up with tears and I looked to the heavens
And reflected back, one score before, now I've read it once more
For God so loved the world, that He gave up the life of His only Son
That whoever would just believe in Him
Would not perish but have everlasting life (John 3: 16)
I smiled to myself because I knew believing meant
So much more than just saying it but living it (James 2: 14, 18)
And seeing all the signs, and praying to God to make the days short (Matt. 24: 22)
He put the Son's Law on my heart (Heb. 8: 10)
