SERIOUS, NOT SO SERIOUS — a poem and song by BBB

SERIOUS, NOT SO SERIOUS

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

09-19-2024

Some say I’m a serious person,
And indeed it is true that I am,
But I’ve got a sense of humor,
And can also be quite the ham.

But the trick is knowing when,
To be funny or to hold it back,
Yes, I have got it under control,
No need for a hysteria attack.

When I am serious I’m serious,
And then when I’m not I’m not,
I strive to maintain a balance,
Yes, I give it everything I’ve got.

Now maybe you are wondering,
If I want to appear funny now,
I shall leave it for you to decide,
Out of this poem I take my bow.

Apostles Were Convinced Jesus Would Return Soon Graphic 01

Posted on March 23, 2026 by Bill Kochman

#ApostlesWereConvinced #Apostles #JesusWillReturn #ReturnSoon #JesusWouldReturn

NOTE #1: In Acts 2:16-18, the Apostle Peter — who had just been filled with the Holy Spirit — is clearly saying two things: Joel’s prophecy was being fulfilled at that time during the First Century, and that period was also the Last Days. The phrase “last days” does NOT mean from 30 AD to the 21st Century, as some modern, Futurist-leaning Bible teachers erroneously teach. That is a false doctrine of men.

NOTE #2: The fact that in 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 the Apostle Paul includes himself by saying “we” is clear proof that he was expecting Christ’s soon return, and he was hoping to still be alive to witness it.

NOTE #3: In Hebrews 1:1-2, the phrase “last days” refers to the very end of the Prophet Daniel’s 70 weeks — or 490 years — prophecy. It has nothing to do with our modern times, as Futurists claim.

NOTE #4: In Hebrews 10:37, the phrase “a little while” does NOT mean 2,000 years in the future as the Futurists claim.

NOTE #5: In James 5:2-3, 7-8, the Apostle James is likewise confirming that it was the Last Days, and he was convinced that Jesus would be returning soon.

NOTE #6: 1 Peter 4:7 confirms the phrase “in these last days” mentioned in Hebrews 1:1-2 above.

NOTE #7: In 1 John 2:18, not once, but twice, the Apostle John tells his readers that it is the Last Time, or the very end of the Prophet Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy.

Conclusion: Peter, James and John — who were Jesus’ inner circle — as well as the Apostle Paul, were all convinced that Jesus would return during their lifetimes, exactly as He had promised them in these verses:

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN, AND RECEIVE YOU unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also . . . I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU.”
John 14:2-3, 18, KJV

How can so many modern, Futurist-leaning Christians continue to resist the plain truth of the Scriptures?
