They sketch timelines in dust
spinning stars into charts
measuring the immeasurable
as if eternity could be pinned
like a butterfly beneath glass
“Did you hear?”
“Have you seen?”
“Surely it’s near”
the signs, the codes
the secret whispers wrapped in newsprint and fear
But Christ is not your puzzle to solve
He is not delayed
nor early
nor lost in the folds of your prophecy map
He is the Lord of time
the First and the Last
the One who was and is
and is coming
not for theories
but for lovers
He will not return to applaud predictions
He will return like lightning
sudden
unmistakable
dressed in glory
and eyes of fire
to gather His own
You, beloved
were not made to chase conspiracies
or decode the date of Majesty
You were made
to abide in Him
to walk as He walked
to carry His Spirit into your ordinary hours
So wake
Feed the hungry in His name
Speak peace like He did in storms
Forgive your enemies
not because they deserve it
but because He forgave you from a cross
Hold your child like Christ sees them
because He does
Kiss your wife like He could come tonight
because He might
Live like He is risen
because He is
Walk like the Kingdom is already breaking in
because it is
And when the sky finally splits
you’ll not be surprised
You’ll be found already burning
heart steady
lamp full
eyes fixed
on Jesus Christ
the returning King
who knows your name
