Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand

That's what Jesus said, but people don't understand

Look at the signs of the times, that's what they say

Two thousand years and counting, still waiting for the day

Trying to do the math, so the figure and calculate

Adding up the years and then they try to set a date

Warning of tribulation and antichrist, causing fears

Longing for the time that God will wipe away their tears

Expecting clouds to bring more than the rain

Waiting for their savior to take away their pain

Hopes of being caught up with the Lord into the sky

With every passing day, they say the rapture draws nigh

Preaching and writing, don't get left behind

God's judgment is about to come on mankind

Looking for a kingdom that the eye can never see

Dissed by the sensation of their so-called end times prophecy

Disciples asked about the end of the age

So Jesus gave signs by which they could gauge

Famines, earthquakes, the spread of good news

The wars and great wickedness all were clues

False prophets and messiahs full of deception

With lies strong enough to fool their perception

The city was surrounded and disciples left town

Seeing it was time for the stones to come down

When the desolating armies were deployed

Jerusalem, the Holy City, was destroyed

As the heavens and earth passed away

The new creation dawned in a spiritual way

But people desire what their hands can touch

Praying for a temple and Jerusalem too much

Only to rebuild that old system of death

An inspiration that's not from God's breath

Chorus

+ Numerology pointed to the new millennium

Not only his disciples but the high priest was told

Within their lifetime of the coming they'd behold

A time of judgment from which none could hide

All would see, even those who pierced his side

In that generation Jesus' words were fulfilled

It was the end of all things, as God had willed

It was the last days or the end of the ages

Fulfillment of prophecy sealed in Daniel's pages

The time of the pouring of the seventh bowl

As the Lamb of God unsealed the holy scroll

In their day the judge was right at the door

Condemning the sin of the adulterous whore

With the witness of the first century view

It's obvious all things were being made new

No need for the church to wait any longer

Trust God's word and your faith will be stronger

Chorus

+ A new math points to 2018
