The End of All Prophecy

 

 

Nothing remains to be fulfilled

Until the coming of the Lord,

Jesus is the end of all prophecy

As it says in the Word.

 

The OT pointed forward to him

To him, the epistles point back,

Jesus is the Bible’s summation

And that is an historic fact.

 

Fulfilment means the end

And that end is the Lord Jesus,

Jesus fulfils all prophecy

And in him we must trust.

 

The Gospels are about him:

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,

Israel is not the prophetic key

So, my friend be warned! 

 

 

Take your eyes off Israel

Meaning the Jewish nation,

Instead you must look upon Jesus;

He is our eternal salvation.

 

When you read the Holy Word

Read it with Jesus in mind,

It is his story, you must understand,

Each and every time.

 

Remember that God is spirit

And none has ever seen His face,

It is His eternal Son, Jesus

That for us takes His place.

 

Hence, he that has seen the Son

Has also seen the Father,

The Son being the expressed image

Of the unseen Father.

 

The Father chose to reveal himself

In none other than His Son

Hence, the fulfilment of prophecy

And His everlasting kingdom.

 

 

The sun and moon and stars

They all bowed down to him:

A foreshadowing of what was to come

When Jacob’s eyes would dim.

 

Not about Joseph, the dreamer,

But of the coming Messiah,

About the revelation of Jesus Christ:

The great and mighty deliverer.

 

And when David slew Goliath

And all the Philistines fled,

That also pointed to Jesus

That will judge the quick and dead.

 

The fact that all prophecy

Has already been fulfilled

Shows the power of Almighty God

And that gives me a thrill.

 

He who declares the end

Even before an event begins

Is none other than Jesus the Christ,

The King of all kings.

 

 

He is the chief cornerstone

Of the entire Bible

And the kinsman Redeemer

Of every nation and people.

 

Now see where this takes us

If with me you will go,

It’s to a world that is out of focus

As both you and I know.

 

The lamb is now the Lion

The Servant has become the King,

Now he rules in heaven

Let us shout and sing.

 

All will bow before him,

And they will do so in due time:

Some willingly, others otherwise,

From every land and clime.

 

 

For Christ must reign

Until all enemies are under his feet,

The last enemy being death

That has also suffered defeat.

 

Therefore, what should we do?

I will tell you what;

To carry out the great commission

Is the believer’s lot.

 

The consummation of all things

Is not our concern

But of the Gospel of salvation

We should preach and learn.

 

Whether he comes tomorrow,

Next month or next year,

We must occupy till Jesus returns

And of his business take care.

 

 

If you have been saved

Go and spread the word

Of Jesus, the wonderful Saviour

To whom you defer.

 

The one who raises the dead

And the one who gives life,

The one who once died

To become our living sacrifice.

 

Pray, tell me, my friend,

What prophecy is yet to be fulfilled?

None except the end of all things:

That is to be fulfilled still.
