The Middle Times were ending, and the heavens were filled with fire, and The Lord did fight to throw The Daemon out of the heavens.
And the fight was fierce, and the sky was filled with bright flashes of fire, and debris did rain down on the people, and they were frightened.
And The Lord did seem to cast The Daemon out.
And The People did wear clothing, and such armor and helms as they had, to protect them, all painted in the various colors of the desert, so The Daemon might not see them.
And The Daemon did come, as if cast from the heavens, roaring down with a great noise, a frightening wail as had never been heard before.
And The People saw him approach the earth, and they were afraid.
And The People faced The Daemon, and prostrated themselves flat on their bellies; and they turned up their collars, to hide their necks, and they tucked their arms under them, lest the Daemon see their hands; and they bowed their heads, and seemed to kiss the dry desert floor.
But The Daemon knew them, and saw them in the desert, and was displeased, that they had attempted to hide.
And The Daemon released his awful wrath, and The People were terrified.
And those of The People that had displeased The Daemon, by their proximity to him, were instantly consumed by fire, such that all that was left of them, and of their clothes, and of their armor and helms, was a dark stain on the dry, cracked desert floor.
And those that had displeased The Daemon, by casting their eyes on him, were instantly struck blind, never to see again.
And those farther yet from The Daemon, were burned horribly, although they did live, some for a day, some lingering on in awful pain for weeks.
And those farther yet from The Daemon, they thought themselves spared, and that the Daemon might let them live.
And then The Daemon did exhale, in a mighty blast of hot air, so strongly that boulders were tossed across the desert, as a child might skip a rock on a calm lake; and the sick, and the burned, and the wounded, and the dead, were rolled up in the great wave of The Daemons breath, and many were crushed.
And then did The Daemon draw breath, in a wave of air as strong as his mighty exhalation, and more of The People were caught up, and torn, and crushed by the rocks and boulders of the desert.
And then there was a mighty clap, such that many of The People that had survived thus far were struck deaf, and The Daemon was gone.
And in place of The Daemon was a mighty pillar of fire, topped by a huge cloud of smoke, that blacked out the sun, and made the day into night.
And those of The People who had survived, again thought that they had bean spared; but many among them did sicken, and their fingernails, and their toenails, and their teeth did fall out, and they did die.
And The People were no more, and only a few, scattered through the desert, did survive.
And the Final Times did begin.
I hope you feel better. Vanity perhaps?
Frankly, you strike me as one of those prohibitionists, who enters the smokey bar, because they like the atmosphere - and then insists everyone stope smoking.
No comment on the content of the thread?
Of course not.
You posted and I replied. Do you have a problem with what people post?
Post what you like but take the replies you get.
If I run through the Mall naked I expect to get a few looks.
Every look is someone that saw it. Some will hate it, some will love it, some will just be confused.
like dadaism, I appreciate that it evokes emotion - that it causes people to think.
That is enough, for now.
(BTW, on my first exposure to dadaism, I went nuts. But that was the point.)
The Seven Deadly Sins of Gilligan's IslandIs Gilligan the Devil?
Gilligan's Island Fan Club site
Years ago, CBS had a popular little series called "Gilligan's Island". There is, however, a dark secret about this "comedy" you may never have realized. The island is a direct representation of Hell.
Nobody on the island wants to be there, yet none are able to leave. Each one of the characters represents one of the 7 deadly sins:
Ginger represents LUST - she wears skimpy outfits, is obsessed with her looks, and is a borderline nymphomaniac.
Mary Ann represents ENVY - she is jealous of Ginger's beauty.
The Professor represents PRIDE - he is an annoying know-it-all.
Mr. Howell represents GREED - no explanation needed.
Mrs. Howell represents SLOTH - she has never lifted a finger to help on any of their escape plans.
The Skipper represents two sins: GLUTTONY - again, no explanation needed and ANGER - he violently hits Gilligan on each show.
This leaves Gilligan. Gilligan is the person who put them there. He prevents them from leaving by foiling all of their escape plots. Also, it is HIS island. Therefore, Gilligan is SATAN.
Crazy? He does wear red in every episode.
Excellent work. I can feel the rage. Are you angry about anything in particular? Did the piece help you resolve your issues?
The Daemon is a demon? OR is it the wrath of God? Very interesting implications. Have to read it again. BTTT
Fight on!!
Yeah, many years ago, I read Dante's Inferno. Similar perhaps?
Kind of unnerving, but thanks for sharing your story.
Glad I escaped the wrath of God. There are still leagues of angels to contend with, however.
Sadly, I will never match the poetry that was Gilligan's Island. LOL.
Sounds strangely like a description of a Nuclear strike.
So, you think Iran is going to succeed.
It is exactly what you suppose, from the perspective of someone looking back, who does not have the language to describe it.
Thanks - and my guess is that they already have.
Yeah, yeah. Every time I dress for falling fire, it rains frogs instead.
Yep, maybe so.
Recent statements from the Mossad chief give me hope, though. They are not playing.
lol it's that 'river of blood' thing that messes it up for me.
LOL. I hate it, when it rains frogs.
Ya want end times, my friend? Check out this apocalyptic vision: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1634861/posts
