Lyrics
[Intro: Spoken Rap, Sparse Oud, Distant Wind] They say the King returned, the thousand years are gone, Satan's little season is the age we're living on. Before you share the theory, hear Christ: "Believe it not."
[Verse 1: Slow Deliberate Rap, Heavy Pauses] Matthew twenty-four, verses twenty-three through twenty-seven: "Lo, here is Christ"—don't follow their direction. Desert... secret chamber... don't go looking in that spot; false christs and signs will rise—Jesus said, "Believe it not." His coming won't be hidden under ice or secret land, nor found by compass bearings drawn by man. Like lightning from the east is visible out west, the Son of Man will come in glory—public, manifest.
Then verses twenty-nine through thirty-one define the scene: after tribulation, sun goes dark, no moonbeam; stars fall, powers shake, the tribes of earth will mourn, they see Him in the clouds, and the elect are gathered home. Ask the needed questions: When did heaven open wide? When were all those signs fulfilled together as He taught? If history cannot show them, then believe the theory not.
[Hook: Forceful Chant, Layered Male Choir] Here is Christ! There is Christ! Jesus warned us of the plot. Hidden reign? A past return? Open Scripture—believe it not. Sun goes black. Stars collapse. Every tribe beholds the King. Till the signs are answered, watch, endure, test everything.
[Verse 2: Building Cadence] Revelation six, twelve through seventeen: quake, blood moon, darkened sun are seen; heaven rolls away, all mountains, islands moved— where's the record? Where's the proof?
Revelation sixteen, seventeen through twenty-one: "It is done"—cities fall beneath the judgment come; islands flee, mountains vanish, crushing hail descends.
Then Revelation nineteen: heaven opens to the Rider, Faithful, True, the Word of God, the King and righteous Fighter. Beast and false prophet fall when Christ appears in might; then chapter twenty binds the dragon for the thousand years—not vice. After the millennium, Satan's loosed a little space. Read the order: return, reign, then little season takes its place.
[Build: Accelerating Rap, Tight Internal Rhymes] First Corinthians fifteen, fifty-one and fifty-two: at the final trumpet, mortal bodies are made new. First Thessalonians four, sixteen-seventeen agrees: the Lord descends, the dead arise, we're caught up openly. Second Timothy two: saying resurrection's past overthrew the faith of some—Paul's warning stands fast. If a past millennium means the saints were raised before, answer Paul's alarm before you advertise for more.
[Double-Time: Rapid-Fire Triplets, Urgent Strings] Check the chronology, prophecy, visible cosmic catastrophe, not an encrypted cartography hiding Messiah geographically; chapter on chapter, the witnesses lock and synchronize, trumpet and gathering, heaven is shattering, nations look up with terrified eyes. Darkened sun, scattered stars, fleeing islands cannot disappear; the whole world beholding the Lamb isn't tucked in an undocumented year. Sixty-six through ten-sixty-six—show Christ ruling the nations then; show resurrected saints and every sign before you say amen. Don't build doctrine from maps and numbers, then silence the plain; context before fascination—Scripture interpreting Scripture again.
[Break: Sudden Half-Time, Sub-Bass Hits, Long Pauses] Where... are the signs? Where... is the record? Where... was the gathering? Where... was the King? Not hidden. Not local. Every eye. Will see.
[Verse 3: Measured Investigative Flow] Now test the date they need for Revelation to be done: Irenaeus points near Domitian's reign, not sixty-one. He learned through Polycarp, who knew the apostle John; that witness places Patmos after Jerusalem was gone. Trace the ancient source—history deserves respect; a late Apocalypse dismantles an AD-seventy script. Acts seventeen says search the Scriptures, daily testing all; don't erase the stated signs because a mystery enthralls.
[Bridge: Somber Cello, Spoken Warning] Second John, verses seven through nine: deceivers enter—abide in Christ's doctrine. If we call the mark and warnings artifacts of past, will the saints discern the pressure when the final system asks? Revelation fourteen, nine through twelve: refuse the mark; keep the faith of Jesus when the hour becomes dark.
[Final Hook: Full Choir, Heavy Drums, Rising Brass] Here is Christ! There is Christ! Jesus warned us of the plot. Hidden reign? A past return? Open Scripture—believe it not. Sun goes black. Stars collapse. Every tribe beholds the King. Watch and pray, endure in truth— the world will know when Jesus comes as King.
[Outro: Watchman Call, Drums Fall Away] Ezekiel thirty-three—sound the trumpet from the wall. Test the doctrine. Read Matthew twenty-four, then Revelation six through twenty—study more. Truth can bear examination; let the Word make vision clear. The King is not in hiding. When He comes, the age will know. Keep your lamp lit—faithful, watching as you go.
