2ª Vinda (a Cura)

The song "2ª Vinda (a Cura)" by Apocalipse 16 is a powerful and intense narrative about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, a central theme in Christian eschatology. The lyrics are a vivid portrayal of the apocalyptic events that will unfold during this time, emphasizing the return of Jesus as a moment of judgment and salvation. The song opens with a sense of urgency, warning both the wealthy and the poor to be vigilant, as no one knows the exact time of His return. This unpredictability is a call for constant readiness and spiritual vigilance.

The lyrics are rich with biblical references and metaphors. The "return of the Omnipotent Son of Jehovah" and the imagery of separating the obedient from the disobedient highlight the dual nature of the Second Coming: it is both a time of salvation for the faithful and a time of judgment for the unrepentant. The song speaks of the "Lion" and the "Messiah," invoking powerful symbols of strength and redemption. The mention of the "seventh trumpet" and the "beast" are direct references to the Book of Revelation, underscoring the prophetic nature of the events described.

The song also addresses social and moral issues, condemning corruption, greed, and moral decay. It calls out various societal figures, from politicians to celebrities, urging them to repent before it is too late. The lyrics suggest that material wealth and social status will be meaningless in the face of divine judgment. The repeated calls to "repent" and the vivid descriptions of the horrors awaiting the unrepentant serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of ignoring this divine call. The song ends with a hopeful note, encouraging listeners to believe in the promise of a new heaven and a new earth, where justice will prevail.
