Nineveh Revisited
What if the people God's prepared for such a time as this
Were really focused on the Goal He wants them not to miss
So much so that when prompted by His Spirit to go forth
They'd quickly spread His message to the west south east and north
Without the hesitation of that prophet back of old
Who ran the other way when by the Spirit he was told
To go to wicked Nineveh and warn the people there
Destruction soon was coming lest they kneel to God in prayer
And ask Him for forgiveness through repentance pure and true
Resisting all temptation from the things they used to do
And humbling themselves to follow His salvation Plan
So richly bought and Paid for when the Lamb became a Man
Would they rewrite the story in the end through love they shared
Instead of pouting at the grace of God for those He spared
Would they rejoice in giving glory for the gift of them
Who took the warning to repent and turned by faith to Him
For now in Truth He's called us to go out to all the world
Especially to cities where His warning must be heard
And warn them of the judgment that is soon to come from Him
Because they've chosen to allow what Satan's done through them
In raising up his temples in the cities of the world
As he's been loosed to tempt the ones among whom he's been hurled
From heaven as the looser that in truth he's always been
The father of the faithless who choose living in their sin
Abandoning the principles of God and righteousness
Ignoring all the warnings to enjoy their wickedness
That soon will reach an end when Jesus comes to earth again
To raise the faithful of the past and draw those washed of sin
To meet Him with His angels that come with Him back to earth
To gather those who turned from sin to revel in new birth
Because someone was faithful to call out in love to them
And warn them of the judgments God was sending down from Him
To wipe away the evil that so long has had control
Upon the weak and feeble for the saving of their souls
To put an end to suffering to Satan and his ways
That soon will come as prophesied in few not many days
Jonah 1:1-4:11; Matthew 28:18-20
