Analysis of On The Last Hour
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
It is the last hour as heard,
The coming of the antichrist;
As it is written in the Word,
And all will be earthly enticed.
We know that it is the last time,
But they were not to be like us;
For they are not paying the crime,
Since evil is viewed good as thus.
They went out but were not of us,
Viewing good as being evil;
Protesting good to raise a fuss,
Inside of them is the devil.
You have been blest through the Son,
Having the knowledge and wisdom;
Anointed by the Holy One,
About the heavenly kingdom.
You do not know what is the truth,
And I write so that you will know;
Because all the lies are uncouth,
Only the Word of God can show.
A liar denies Jesus Christ,
And the Father and His Spirit;
Denies Jesus was sacrificed,
And all that we will inherit.
Whoever confesses of the Son,
Cannot deny of the Father;
For they know just what had been done,
Making Jesus as their Brother.
