“Before the Winds Are Loosed” is a prophetic anthem that traces the unfolding timeline of last-day events through the lens of historicist biblical prophecy. The song begins with the “birth pains” of a troubled world—wars, unrest, and natural upheaval—just as Jesus foretold in the Olivet discourse, and moves through the great prophetic signs that marked the beginning of the time of the end. While much of the world looks for prophetic fulfillment in earthly events, the song shifts the focus to the heavenly sanctuary where Christ ministers within the veil and the investigative judgment is now in session. It reveals that the winds of global strife are being divinely restrained while God seals His faithful remnant, but warns that this mercy will not last forever. As probation nears its close and the fall of Babylon approaches, the song crescendos into an urgent appeal: choose the Lamb now, while grace is still offered and before the winds are finally released.

Before the Winds Are Loosed By Zeres Vitto Verse 1 — The Beginning of Sorrows Hear thunder rolling on the horizon, The distant sound of marching feet; The nations speak in sharpened thunder, And broken peace lies in the street. The oceans groan beneath the pressure, The mountains tremble without a word; A restless world is breathing faster— Just as our Savior long foretold. “These are but birth pains,” He declared, “The end is near—but not yet there.” Pre-Chorus — The Heavenly Court While many watch an earthly temple, And search Jerusalem for signs; A greater court is now in session— The books of heaven open wide. For Christ now stands within the veil, And judgment vindicates God’s name. Chorus — Mercy Still Speaks Before the winds are loosed in power, Before probation’s closing hour, The Lamb still stands within the veil, His wounded hands still intercede. The court of heaven waits today, While grace is offered still to all; The storm is rising—mercy calls— Come while His mercy still is free. Verse 2 — Our Place in Time The earth once shook in mighty warning, The sun grew dark, the moon like blood; The stars fell blazing from the sky— The sky proclaimed the signs of God. The seventh trumpet sounds through history, Not in a moment—but through years; And angels hold the winds of strife, Till servants bear the Father’s seal. The nations rage—but God restrains, While heaven seals His faithful ones. Pre-Chorus — The Sealing From eastern skies an angel rose, The seal of the living God he holds: “Harm not the earth, nor sea, nor trees, Till God’s last remnant bear His seal.” For heaven holds the winds in check, Till all His faithful bear His seal— A people firm in truth and grace, Prepared to stand before His face. Chorus — Mercy Still Speaks Before the winds are loosed in power, Before probation’s closing hour, The Lamb still stands within the veil, His wounded hands still intercede. The court of heaven waits today, While grace is offered still to all; The storm is rising—mercy calls— Come while His mercy still is free. Bridge — The Urgency But when the temple falls to silence, And intercession’s voice is still; When Michael stands and mercy closes, And every case has been revealed— No cry of late regret shall echo, No change of heart can shift the scale; Then plagues descend with wrath unmixed, And false alliances will fail. Babylon’s towers start to crumble, The kings shall turn in sudden flame; Yet those who trust in Christ their refuge Will stand secure in Jesus’ name. Final Chorus — The Appeal Before the winds are loosed in power, Before the final sealing hour, Choose now the Lamb who once was slain, Who bore your guilt and bore your shame. The birth pains shake—but mercy calls; They warn before the curtain falls. The hour is late—do not delay; Come while probation still remains. Outro — Quiet Hope These are the early cries of labor, Not wrath—but mercy’s final plea; O soul, while heaven’s door stands open, Let Christ alone your righteousness be.
