O Fim Virá (feat. Ana Paula Valadão)
Isaque Valadão Bessa
The Triumph of Hope: Unpacking 'O Fim Virá'
The song 'O Fim Virá' (The End Will Come), performed by Isaque Valadão Bessa featuring Ana Paula Valadão, is a powerful Christian hymn that delves into the core beliefs of Christianity concerning the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the ultimate victory over death and sin. The lyrics recount the pivotal events of the crucifixion and resurrection, emphasizing the despair that fell upon the followers of Christ when He was crucified ('Sexta-feira a esperança morreu' - On Friday hope died) and the subsequent revival of hope with His resurrection ('No domingo a esperança reviveu' - On Sunday hope revived).
The repeated phrase 'E o fim virá' (And the end will come) serves as a reminder of the Christian eschatological belief that there will be an end to the current age, where God will be 'Tudo em todos' (All in all), signifying the fulfillment of God's kingdom. The song expresses a longing for the second coming of Christ, referred to as 'Maranata,' an Aramaic term that means 'Our Lord, come!' This reflects the anticipation of the final victory over all enemies, including death itself, as mentioned in the lyrics.
Isaque Valadão Bessa, along with Ana Paula Valadão, brings a sense of urgency and hope through this song. It is a call for believers to remain steadfast in their faith, awaiting the ultimate redemption and restoration of all creation. The song's powerful message is encapsulated in its melodic crescendos and the passionate delivery by the artists, which is typical of contemporary Christian music with its focus on worship and praise.
