I like this song, but I'm not totally clear on its meaning -- I understand the Biblical references but I'm more unclear on the "these are the days of" part.
These are the days of Elijah
Declairing the Word of the Lord
And these are the days of Your
Servant Moses
Righteousness being restored
And though these are days of
Great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
Behold He comes riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call
Lift your voice it's the Year of Jubilee
Out of Zion's hill salvation comes
These are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of
Your servant David
Rebuilding a temple of praise
And these are the days of the harvest
The fields are as white in Your world
And we are the laborers in Your vineyard
Declaring the Word of the the Lord
There's no god like Jehova
Lift your voice it's the year of Jubilee
Out of Zion

Looks like it means we are in a time of revival--in Elijah's time Israel was under evil rulers: Jezebel and Ahab. Elijah was a prophet of the Lord who stood for righteousness almost single-handedly. Because he did, he rid the land of wicked kings and false prophets of Baal. In Moses' day, Israel was coming out of slavery and into deliverance. It's a time of transition, a foreshadowing that even though our world is full of the same evil and oppression, the day of the Lord is coming soon. Our land will soon be restored when He comes as the rightful King.

Meaning Of Elijah

You've got a Druidic former Catholic here, and CCE was decades ago, so bear with me. It is my understanding that one of the signs of the Coming of the Messiah will be the return of the Prophets Moses and Elijah, remember Herod's fear that John the Baptist was the returned Elijah, and that one of the results will be the re-building of the Temple of Soloman and the Restoration of the Greatness of Israel. Don't get the Ezekiel reference at all. Any Jewish scholars feel free to jump in. Hope this helped.

A good question ...
The answer is two-fold.
First - it means this is what happened in Elijah's and Ezekiel's times - the work of the Lord that was done.
But the second part is that "God is the same. yesterday, today and forever" and that this work (of Elijah and Ezekiel) is part of our heritage as believers and is part of our lives today, and is still going on in various ways. These are the days of God and his servants.
A great, perceptive question.

I'd probably never go so far as to say all of anything sucks. For me, the problem occurs when the subject matter takes precedence over the music, and I've found many Christian bands tend to do that. Sometimes, it's like they just wanted a way to convey their message, rather than with many pagan bands, it seems they just needed a theme for their music (certainly not always). Of course, I haven't listened to them all, and wouldn't shun a band just because they're openly Christian. I did like the ones you linked, especially the second one. MQ2: Orphaned Land includes Christian themes, but they're not "Christian metal"... so not really BQ: I might like a song more if I find the subject matter interesting (something historical), but I'm fine with anything as long as there's no supremacism.

One of my favorite songs out right now.
IT means that these are the days that the prophets mentioned in the song were talking about.
Jesus has come in the flesh, born of a virgin etc. These things were all prophecied about in the old testament and we are now living them , therefore "these are the days".
The next phase or step in Gods plan is Revelation and at that point we will no longer be living in "these days"

History repeats itself. The same things going on in the past are still going on today. Not everything but a great deal of it is. We believers are still praising the Lord and are still doing his work, so these are the days of returning to the Lord is what the song is trying to get across and that his work on Earth through the believers is not done until he comes back in the last days.

Much of the book of Elijah is prophecy of the end times, many of these events have not yet come to pass.
