HOW EASY IT IS TO BE BLINDED!

The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money. -Micah 3:11

How easy it is to be blinded;
To ignore "the signs of the times".
So many today are crying, "Peace, peace",
But there will be no peace in our time

For there shall be "wars and rumours of wars",
Crime and violence shall also increase,
And "nation shall rise against nation"
Until the "times of the Gentiles" cease.

These are the "signs" all around us
For those who have their eyes open to see,
Those signs that precede the Lord's coming,
For "Behold, I come quickly," saith He.

Yet many who claim to be Christians,
Who claim that they follow the Lord,
Seem oblivious to the signs all around them
And ignore what God says in His Word.

They seek out the weakest of preachers
Who speak words that will tickle their ears,
For they want not to hear God's stern warnings
That in His Word are made perfectly clear.

As long as nothing is said to upset them,
They think everything's going just fine.
Yes, how easy it is to be blinded,
To ignore the "signs of the times".
