In the lyric there is no intention to suggest that the\par second coming will be at the time of the ending of the second millennium AD rather saying\par that this event may be akin to the metaphor of the Holy Grail happening in the human heart\par with every rebirth and that Heaven can be created on Earth through the act of living in the way\par God intended. This concurs with Christ's own assertion that he will never leave us and that he\par has replaced the tablets of stone given to Moses with a new covenant imprinted on our hearts. \par \par \par © Stefan Lewis-Fish (8th November 1998) \par \par \par
