THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

This is biblical allusion poetry that x-rays the gathering of armies for a battle at the end time. I have employed literary appreciation and device to create a mental picture in the mind of my readers the fight between the good and evil and thus,the aftermath of evil.

image

I witnessed the fallen great city of Babylon
It was fierce, extremely awful and raging,
It was like the end of the world;
Without no restrictions.

The cities in the universe outcropped,
Spinning faster and faster
Like the whirlwind from region of Megiddo
Cities were fallen, toppled in ruin.

image

Chaos rocked the earth like never before,
As though men were left behind;
Fire blazed the sun like brimstone
And scorched men and women
The end of the world is now!!!

I watched the beast and the kings
Wage war against the armies of heaven,
It was a fight between good and evil;
Who rules the great cities afterwards.

image

The Old dragon;
Deceived multitudes of kings
On their foreheads was imprinted
The mark of the beast;
They gathered like termites
In their caste, ready to dine
In the Cold War of Armageddon!!!

In pains and shores,
Evil wouldn't give up
It's either they win or die in the doom;
Where they belong,
Like men of war armed in armour
The assembled together for a dead alive exchange.

image

In their power,
they wrought deeds unknown to mankind,
In their power,
The sea coagulated into bloodbath.
In their power,
Causing disaster and sudden a red eclipse.
That was the first 'Bloodbath' at Megiddo.

I was trembled and astonished,
How creatures fought with the creator.
The Angels on white led by the Lamb
Whose name was called Chosen and Faithful
Roared like the sound of waters
A second bloodbath happened,
Accompanied by lightning flashed and shouts.

image

Sword against Sword
Spear against Spear,
Death became inevitable
Devouring multitude;
Sending evil to eternity of hell,
Thunder crashes and colossal earthquake,
Toppled the battle ground.

This was the third BloodBath,
Where evil was completely wiped out
From the earth.
All hail to the King!
All hail to the King!!
All hail to the King!!!

Lol.... This poem makes the second coming of Christ sound honourable and not so frightful....

Exactly, it speaks of the second coming

Great article again my friend. I have also read about that Armageddon in the Bible about 2-3 times in my lifetime.

I've been thinking it that war is like World War I and World War II.

Something similar to it.

Hmm, do you think there will be angels and demons on that war?

Yes... There will be. It was stated clearly in the Bible. In further explication terms, the Old Dragon that's the devil will deceive many kings (men of the earth) to wage war against the armies of heaven.
The host of Angels will be led by The Lamb and that's Jesus, together with the Saints, Faithful and the Chosen ones. When I read through these, it blew my mind that God indeed is most powerful. He created the world and everything within it is subjected under his power including the the beast itself. The Battle is coming the happen at the place in the Hebrew word called Harmgeddon (Rev16). Rev 17: 14 in addition he mentioned that they will wage war against the lamb, but victory assuredly goes to the Lamb.

Got to read it again. I completely forgot what I've read about Armageddon already.

Wow! Am really amazed with your choice of words..this really got me thinking..
I love it, well done
