"The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.... for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Cease from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?" (Isaiah 2:11-22). "The Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10).
The lofty looks of man today
Shall very soon be humbled,
And haughtiness shall flee away
When their defense has crumbled.
Now cease from man, for what is he
To be accounted of?
The Lord who comes with majesty
Has sheltered us in love!
Our Savior soon shall be revealed
With heaven's flaming fire
To those refusing to be healed,
Rejecting Christ's desire.
What more Jesus Christ have done?
What more could He have said?
God sent His own beloved Son
And raised Him from the dead!
Though lofty looks today increase
Against the Christ they spurn,
We know that they shall surely cease
Upon our Lord's return.
So help us, Lord, until You come,
To preach with urgency
To change the lofty looks of some
Into humility.
