Folks scoffed at words of ancient seers,
They dismissed warnings through their years.
Rejecting all The Bible claims,
To the end of their lives, they came.
But lo, the sands of time reveal,
Some prophecies that now are real!
If they could see what we now see,
Would disbelief from them, then flee?? 1
Now you who, in life, are still cast...
Foolish souls, who now trust in sight,
Don’t ignore faith's eternal light,
In this lifetime, that is so brief,
Embrace the gift of faith’s belief.
We’re blessed who trust in prophecies,
That on life’s stage, we don’t yet ‘see’.
We trust Him Who will determine,
When we’ll see what He has spoken. 2
Friends,
Shun hardened hearts; open faith’s eyes!
Disbelieve all devil-ish lies!
Then walk by faith, and not by sight,
Before you sleep in death’s …long night! 3
Gravestone or none for others to read,
Heaven’s records will not be deceived.
It’ll record if its Word you believed,
Or to Godly faith, you never cleaved.
Selah…

1 Imagine having a chat with someone who died, ardently disbelieving major Bible prophecies that became historical facts after he/she had died, i.e., before or during your lifetime.Now imagine switching places with that person.
I trust my admonition to you is abundantly clear: Given The Bible's 80+% 'prophecy-to-historical facts' success rate, the odds are clearly against anyone who aligns his/her faith, to whether the few yet-fulfilled prophecies become factual in his/her lifetime.
2 This speaks of yet-fulfilled prophecies Jesus, The Lord God, either directly spoke, or inspired His prophets to write in The Bible.
3 The Bible iteratively attests all humans will be resurrected as immortal beings:
‘…And many of those who sleep in the dust of the Earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt,' -- i.e., in The Lord’s eternal lake of fire. (Daniel 12:2)
Jesus said, '…Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves, will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good [i.e., died in Godly faith], to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil i.e., died with no Godly faith], to the resurrection of condemnation’, i.e., in The Lord’s eternal lake of fire. (Jesus spoke this in John 5:28-29.)
