A poem inspired by certain chapters of the book Revelations (chapters 6-11)
The Seventh Seal


This is the start of the Lord's final test
the first seal will lay it down
a white horse heading on a conquest
holding a bow and given a crown


The red horse appears erasing peace
making men turn from one another and given a sword
no man will be able to stop or cease
the second seal to come from the Lord


The black horse brings forth starvation
with a pair of scales in hand
spreading famine from nation to nation
the third seal to strike the land


The pale horse is sent
to kill many of the earth's soil
men will try to circumvent
the fourth seal to cast destruction and spoil


Slain believers will be clothed in white
waiting for the numbers of death to complete
of those that have seen Jesus is the light
the fifth seal to conquer and defeat


Earthquakes and blackened sun will arise
red moon and stars descend to the earth's frontier
as God's wrath continues from the skies
the sixth seal will cause islands and mountains to disappear


There will be a silence in Heaven
blazing fire and crashing thunder will surround
as the gates open for the trumpets of seven
the seventh seal brought to the earth's ground


Accept the Lord and do not wait
the trumpets are more devastating than the seals
If you don't it will be too late
you will see what the tribulation reveals
