Johnny Cash-The_Man_Comes Around
https://www.youtube.com ^ | Johnny Cash

Posted on 08/24/2018 5:57:42 PM PDT by ATOMIC_PUNK

And I heard as it were the noise of thunder One of the four beasts saying come and see and I saw And behold a white horse

There's a man going around taking names And he decides who to free and who to blame Everybody won't be treated all the same There'll be a golden ladder reaching down When the Man comes around

The hairs on your arm will stand up At the terror in each sip and in each sup Will you partake of that last offered cup? Or disappear into the potter's ground When the Man comes around

Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum Voices calling, voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come

And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree The virgins are all trimming their wicks The whirlwind is in the thorn tree It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks

Till Armageddon no shalam, no shalom Then the father hen will call his chickens home The wise man will bow down before the throne And at His feet they'll cast their golden crowns When the Man comes around

Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still Listen to the words long written down When the Man comes around

Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum Voices calling and voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come

And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree The virgins are all trimming their wicks The whirlwind is in the thorn tree It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks

In measured hundred weight and penney pound When the Man comes around.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts And I looked and behold, a pale horse And his name that sat on him was Death And Hell followed with him.

Always reminds me of the Bommer slide show. They almost erased it from the internet, but I got me a copy. W did alright for a while there.

Heard Man in Black on XM a few days ago.

It sunk in really good; better than hearing it long ago.

PS have you heard of Chicken in Black?

Psa 91:4 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall trust. His truth shall be your shield, and buckler.


Almost everything in the NT has a reference to the OT. Maybe old Johnnie was referring to the above. “He” being the father.

There is a great song by Johnny Cash that I love and shed a tear for every time I hear it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KqrjeScLSI

And some want to kneel in disrespect to it, and disrespect those that represented it with their all. Thank you Mr. Cash for helping us remembrer.

One of my favorites from the "Man in Black". There was also a lighter humorous side of Mr Cash as well, One Piece at a Time and of course that classic A Boy Named Sue (I wonder how manty trans snowflakes would have a meltdown hearing this one?) ;)

"When Cash covered “Hurt”, Trent Reznor pretty much said that it’s now Johnny Cash’s song."

Same with Soundgarden's Rusty Cage.
