Heavens tremble,
bowing to eternal
power and glory.
The power surges
down, toward
the earth below.
The Son of man
gathers His elect
from the Four
Winds of Heaven.
Angels, trumpet the arrival
with a globe ringing blast
of pure triumph
from the east,
announcing
the terrible day
is at hand.
Ahead, amidst confusion,
the doubting ways
of man
are set aside.
The terrible day
is at hand.
The truth of His grace
is here to set mankind free!
More than a man
He has come at last,
His eternal glory
blinding and pure.
Angels regale His
return to the
children of earth,
trumpeting His
long awaited arrival.
Earth suffers
the great alarm.
Contempt and persecution
has fled the hearts
of all humanity.
The dictates of
the natural man
melt away,
in the span
of a single breath.
All is replaced with
horror for the wicked
and sublime joy
for the righteous.
Terrors of
great-maligned sins
overwhelm the evil ones.
The reverberations
of weeping and wailing
of the wicked and afraid
make the very air quiver.
Some claw
at their eyes as
enlightening light
bathes the earth
with its glory.
The sifting has begun.
The tares ripped
from amongst the wheat.
Too late for the wicked,
the last relics of hope
withered, spiraling to dust.
They are lost forever.
Swallowed up by
the dank, murky pit
where their souls
once found shelter.
Destruction
roils the earth
while humanity
clings to prayer.
Notable cities collapse
and lay in ruin,
many have burned
left desolate, gone.
No light, no fire,
no glimmer of hope
remains.
Howling of those creatures
proves both great
and terrible,
tearing at the hearts
of those who pray aloud.
With shattered hearts,
some simply weep
at the sound of
our earthly brethren.
Those who have chosen
to follow Him
are filled with
great anticipation,
basking in the joy
of His second coming.
You see,
the great and dreadful
day of the Lord
is finally at hand
and we embrace it.
He comes as a Lion
though yet as a Lamb.
The Great Spirit
has returned again.
My native family
weeps in relief.
Our joy is
perfect and sublime.
bowing in humble
adoration and love,
the children of God
lift our eyes and
gaze upon His glory.
He was the One
on the cross,
who took away
humanity’s burdens gladly.
Destroying our sins,
giving all eternal life,
He kept his promise
and returned for us!
The Savior has returned,
a covenant fulfilled
to the multitudes
of faithful beloved followers.
Every righteous voice
sings the only
words to describe
how full our
hearts are filled…
Hosannah! Hosannah!
Hosannah to His name!
The Great Prophesy
is fulfilled.
He shall rein
forever and ever
Amen!
St. Matthew 24:30-31 KJV
Luke 21:27 KJV

My favorite!
The clouds of the
Heavens tremble,
bowing to eternal
power and glory.
The power surges
down, toward
the earth below
We are waiting and longing.
Great job!
A good poem, although for me the short lines were ditracting, and I'd have preferred them longer. But just my taste (and I'm obviously in the minority). Good job.
