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.

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."


". . . we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know."


"As also in all his [Paul's] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction."


"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived."
