Here are a few verses from my 57 verse Bible Poem
Pergamum
When evil incarnate's archangel; cast down from Heaven on high;
Re-established his throne in Pergamum; The eagle again rose to fly;
A phoenix risen from ashes; the kingdom which served as his seat;
In a land of fortified towers on earth; where Lucifer fled in retreat.
An empire arose; of nations which chose; to seek common cause in one name;
What was and was not; again was begot; and then the Antichrist came;
To claim for his own; the imperial throne; from the shadows the dark prince stepped;
The unburied dead got; the Messiah they sought; and still the Babylonians slept.

The Warning
Come out of her you my people; share not in her sins or her plagues;
When the Bridegroom has left her, she'll suffer; the heat of Satan's rage;
T'was hail he sent that destroyed her; every stone, a talent or more;
In a terrible storm of fire spawning ice; as Sagan had known before.

The Apocalypse
Rose twilight of dawn lit western skies; to herald the end of an age;
And all the world's merchants wept; As Babylon left the stage;
Bathed in the glare of starfire; scores of cities pyres in the night;
Her bundles of tares all burning; cleansed by searing light.
A world they'd raped; yet they could have escaped; if ever they'd read that book;
Instead they stayed; and desperately prayed; as her mighty shield shuddered and shook;
Warding blo-w after blo-w; age starting to show; as vast tremors began to awake;
T'was hotter than hell; when came her death knell; Oceania's stupendous earthquake;
With doom's horrible crack; her shield broke its back; and split in two neath the bay;
While mid thunderous roar; like none heard before; Lalaland drifted away;
As freeing her slaves; she sank neath the waves; an ancient promise fulfilled;
When the harlot at last; paid for her past; and all the blood she had spilled.

Nuclear Winter
When the kings of the north; in battle set forth; ill befell many kings of the south;
Those who’d sat on the wall; and not answered the call; soon died with their dung in their mouth.
For the sun hid its face; of the moon not a trace; as a terrible winter set in;
When there grew not a thing; and long before spring; even Jacob was hungry and thin.
For again The Lord chose Jacob; more survived of him than the Bride;
And then Jews outnumbered Christians; so many false Christians died.
When Earth’s cities lay battered; fallen and shattered; survivors were scattered and few;
All ragged and tattered; he’d not thought it mattered; the harlot had hailfire too.

Satan
He’d chosen his moment with care; having found the Master asleep;
Once having disposed of the harlot; he vowed he'd level the keep.
For he knew he was lost; and whatever the cost; he meant to kill all the grain;
And the price wasn’t cheap; for to get at the keep; t’was first his own children he’d slain.
Though the keep's walls were strong; they couldn’t last long; the Archfiend’s fire was so hot;
Yet midst deafening din; with walls caving in; the Lions of Judah still fought!!
As being not for nothing called chosen; fearless they faced the end;
When the Almighty Arm of Yahweh Sabaoth; in fury arose to defend!!
