I am really sorry to have to tell you,
And although I’m not trying to be rude,
Well, the simple truth of the matter,
Is that your beliefs are rather skewed.
You embrace the Futurist perspective,
Which puts prophecies in times ahead,
Yet if you carefully inspect the Bible,
You will discover you have been misled.
The deception began in the early 1800s,
In both Great Britain and in the U.S.,
With MacDonald, Darby & the Millerites,
Who all created quite a doctrinal mess.
Through a misinterpretation of Daniel,
They arrived at the wrong conclusion,
And tho a Great Disappointment came,
Today there’s still doctrinal confusion.
Many have hopped on the bandwagon,
From Left Behind to Adventists & more,
Yet they’ll all end up so disappointed,
Just like those Millerites were before.
P
lease listen to my words in this poem,
Because I was once under a delusion,
I likewise believed as I had too heard,
Till God gave me a big Word infusion.
Eventually it became apparent to me,
I was misguided by doctrines of men,
But after many years of Bible study,
I won’t let them deceive me again.
