Hear Ye the Thunder
Psalm by Dana G Smith

Obadiah 1:15  For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

Hear ye the Thunder,
In the distance, beyond far horizon.
See ye the signs, Oh man?
Listen and Hear well.
For the Lord Cometh,
Yea, all shall see Him.
He is Thundering, a voice that shall be heard!
Prepare ye! Prepare ye! Oh mighty ones,
For the Lord cometh.

To whom shall ye call upon?
Where shall ye go?
For the enemies of the Lord,
Yea, they shall be cast down on that day,
But the Righteous ones shall be lifted up.

Hear ye the thunder Oh man?
Can you perceive the warnings?
Will you listen to the Prophets?
Hearken now and live Oh Vain ones.
For the Lord sends His warnings.
The time is come Oh man.
The nations will know themselves of this,
For they will not delay the Day of the Lord.

This Day is full of darkness,
This Day is all encompassing,
This Day will be full of the Wrath of the Lord God.
The Warnings have been given,
The Prophets have spoken.
Yet, the foolish do not hear,
The vain man refuses to listen,
The nations exalt their foolishness.
But hear ye Oh men and nations.
It is I, the Lord God, All mighty, All powerful,
Righteous and full of Mercy, full of Grace,
Yea, It is I.

I will trod down your exalted ones.
I will bring low your rebellion.
I will burn with unquenchable fire,
All those who oppose me, saith the Lord.
But I will give mercy to the merciful.
I will comfort the hurting.
I will deliver those who seek me.
I will forgive those who repent.

Partner with the Watchman to help Spread the Word!

Hear ye the Thunder Oh man?
In the distant, beyond, there the darkness gathers,
The lightening strikes, the earth moans, turning in its distresses.
The heavens give way and the Day is revealed.
Hear ye the Thunder Oh man?
It is the voice of the Lord God,
Yea, he sendeth this,
The Day of the Lord God cometh, Repent and seek me, that ye will
Be hid on the day of my wrath.

Obadiah 1:8  Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9  And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10  ¶For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11  In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
12  But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
13  Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
14  Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
15  For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
