The
name Methuselah seems odd,
Until
you stop to do the math. His father Enoch walked with God
And named him this, foretelling wrath.
The
year Methuselah succumbs
Is
at the time God’s judgment came. His name means “When he dies, it comes,”
And that’s why Enoch gave that name.
The
wickedness in Noah’s day
Would
grow in spite of prophecy. Refusing God, they turned away,
Unmindful of eternity.
Like
serpents which would stop the ear,
Like
adders that could not be charmed, With judgment ever growing near,
They mocked the warnings, unalarmed.
It
is the same today as then;
Our
Savior said it would be so. Our Lord is coming back again,
Though mockery till then will grow.
If
any person loves the Lord,
It
is because they found His favor. If God by others is abhorred,
They have rejected Christ the Savior.
The
word that the apostle used
Is
“Maranatha” which declares “The Lord will come!” Be not confused
Or caught up with this world’s cares!
The
day and hour are not known,
But
we can surely see His signs. Like weather forecasts which are shown,
We see the times His Word defines.
O
Lord, we thank You for Your Word
That
many in our day are scorning, Though mockers mock it as absurd
And are offended by its warning!
We
know Your Word is true, O Lord,
And
that these days have been foretold When proven truth would be ignored,
As hearts increasingly are cold.
Lord,
till the time of Your return,
We
hear the “Maranatha” call To pray for other souls to yearn
The grace that You extend to all!
