The Revelation: A Poem of the End and Beginning

I. The Unveiling

A voice,a trumpet, and a light,

On Patmos’isle, on Lord’s Day bright.

“Write what you see,and send it forth,”

To seven churches in the north.

To each,a word of truth and fire,

A call to rise from sinful mire:

“Repent,hold fast, and overcome,

Until the final kingdom come.”

II. The Throne in Heaven

A door stood open,and a throne,

With jasper,ruby, emerald stone.

And He who sat there,glorious, vast,

Held future,present, and the past.

Four living creatures,day and night,

Cried,“Holy, Holy, Holy, might!”

And elders cast their crowns in praise,

For all creation,His word obeys.

III. The Scroll and The Lamb

A scroll was sealed with seven seals,

A mystery that time conceals.

No one was worthy,tears fell down,

Till stood a Lion to take the crown—

A Lamb,as slain, with eyes of flame,

Worthy to open and proclaim.

Then heaven’s hosts began the song:

“To Him who’s righted every wrong!”

IV. The Seals Are Broken

With every seal,a judgment rode:

White,red, and black, a fearful load.

Then pale,a horse whose name was Death,

And martyrs cried with dying breath,

“How long,O Lord?” Then silence fell,

As stars from shaken heavens fell.

“Wait yet a while,”the white robes said,

Till all their number should be made.

V. Trumpets of Warning

Then seven angels raised their horns,

And judgment fell on earth in storms.

Hail,fire, sea turned into blood,

The sun and moon in mourning stood.

A star called Wormwood,locusts’ sting,

An army from Euphrates’spring.

A third of earth was scorched and slain,

But still,mankind cried out in vain.

VI. The Woman and The Dragon

A woman,clothed with sun and moon,

Gave birth to One who’d rule all soon.

A great red dragon,waiting near,

Swept stars to earth,consumed with fear.

He sought the Child,but He was caught

To God’s high throne,where He was brought.

Then war in heaven,Michael fought,

The dragon down to earth was brought.

VII. The Beasts from Sea and Land

From sea,a beast with crowns and horns,

Whom all the world adores and mourns.

From earth,a beast with lamb-like voice,

Who makes the earth receive his choice—

A mark on hand or forehead plain,

To buy or sell,a binding chain.

But on Mount Zion,standing pure,

A hundred forty-four thousand,secure.

VIII. The Bowls of Wrath

Then from the temple,angels came,

To pour God’s final wrath in flame.

On earth and sea,on sun and throne,

On darkness,war, and Babylon.

Sores,blood, and scorching, painful heat,

Then,“It is done!” the cry complete.

IX. The Fall of Babylon

A harlot sat on waters wide,

With gold and pearl and sinful pride.

Drunk with the blood of saints,she fell,

As merchants mourned and kings as well.

“Come out,my people!” heaven cried,

“Lest in her plagues you still abide.”

X. The Wedding of The Lamb

Then sounded heaven’s loud“Hallelujah!”

The great whore’s rule was overthrown.

A feast was called,the Bride made ready,

In linen clean and pure as snow.

The King of Kings on white horse rode,

His name“The Word of God” bestowed.

The beast was cast in lake of fire,

And heaven’s choir sang ever higher.

XI. The Thousand Years and Final Doom

An angel bound the dragon old,

A thousand years in prison hold.

The martyrs reigned with Christ in light,

Till Satan’s brief,last, futile fight.

Then fire from God consumed the foe,

To lake of fire the devil go.

The dead were raised,the books were read,

And Death and Hades too were dead.

XII. All Things Made New

I saw a new heaven and new earth,

For former things had passed their worth.

New Jerusalem,like a bride,

Came down from God,with God inside.

No temple there,no sun, no night,

The Lamb Himself is all the light.

No tears,no death, no crying, pain,

For Christ Himself has come to reign.

“Behold, I make all things new!”

The words are faithful,sure, and true.

“I am the Alpha and the close,

To all who thirst,I freely give.”

The Spirit and the Bride say,“Come!”

Let all who hear now enter home.

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus, come.
