Closing my eyes I heard a sound.
Not knowing what it was I looked around.
Nothing in view but that which was normal.
So I closed my eyes again, then the rumble.
As sudden as it had come it again disappeared.
I looked frantically around to see what it was to be feared.
I stopped to listen for whatever I could hear,
But again, there was seemingly nothing to fear.
So once again I closed my eyes in sleep.
I continued to listen carefully for even a peep.
But not a sound came or went while I lay there awake.
But little did I know what a difference that little rumble would make.
The rumble had been the first sign that it was time.
But I had turned the lights out and lost that last chance of mine.
1 Thessalonians 5:2
For you know quite well that the day of the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night.
