A Dispensationalist Reflects on the Fall of Communism (circa 1992)

by Neil E. Das

First there were the Russians
To help validate the plan
To melt the world in fire
By the handiwork of man
And saints breathed in the comfort
That the word of God could stand
And praised the god of history
To illumine so His hand.

And then came peace. Aaggh!

But now we know a comet
In one colossal slam
Could wipe from all the starfields
The memory of man
And saints breathe in the comfort
That the word of God can stand
And praise the god of science
To illumine so His hand.
