Look for the Waymarks (Franklin E. Belden)

Описание: As God’s people journey through the course of history, the Scriptures reveal clear prophetic landmarks that show where we stand in the stream of time. These “waymarks” guide the faithful and strengthen their confidence that God’s word is unfolding exactly as foretold.

In this powerful prophetic hymn, Franklin E. Belden points believers to the great kingdoms of prophecy—those powers that rise and fall just as the Bible predicted. From the empires of the ancient world to the divided nations symbolized by iron and clay, the course of history confirms the reliability of God’s prophetic word.

The hymn draws directly from the prophecy of the great image revealed in the book of Daniel:

📖 Daniel 2:44
“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed.” (KJV)

Each fulfilled prophecy is a waymark, showing that we are moving steadily toward the final and glorious event—the return of Jesus Christ. As the hymn declares, the kingdoms of this world will soon pass away, but Christ’s eternal kingdom will stand forever.

For those who study the prophetic waymarks, the message is clear:

The journey of earth’s history is nearly complete.
The final kingdom is about to appear.

Soon the kingdoms of this world will give way to the everlasting kingdom of Christ.

“Look for the way-marks… the journey’s almost o’er.”

'Look for the Waymarks'
by F. E. Belden

[Verse 1]
Look for the way-marks as you journey on,
Look for the way-marks passing one by one;
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four—
Where are we standing? Look the way-marks o’er.

[Refrain]
Look for the way-marks, the great prophetic way-marks,
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four.
Look for the waymarks, the great prophetic way-marks;
The journey’s almost o’er.

[Verse 2]
First, the Assyrian kingdom ruled the world,
Then Medo-Persia’s banners were unfurled;
And after Greece held universal sway,
Rome seized the scepter—where are we today?

[Refrain]
Look for the way-marks, the great prophetic way-marks,
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four.
Look for the waymarks, the great prophetic way-marks;
The journey’s almost o’er.

[Verse 3]
Down in the feet of iron and of clay,
Weak and divided, soon to pass away;
What will the next great, glorious drama be?
Christ and His coming, and eternity.

[Refrain]
Look for the way-marks, the great prophetic way-marks,
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four.
Look for the waymarks, the great prophetic way-marks;
The journey’s almost o’er.
