I agree with this with a preceding sign of the world's capital being destroyed by the 10 leaders per Rev 17.  It's the catalyst which leads to the revealing of the antichrist.

 

Regarding Revelation 17, Revelation's symbolic "Babylon" (Revelation chapters 17-18) represents all of mankind's corrupt political (Revelation 17:18), economic (Revelation 18:11), and religious (Revelation 18:24) systems throughout the earth (Revelation 18:3), and throughout history (Revelation 17:9-10). The 10 kings of the Antichrist's empire will destroy with fire what Revelation's "Babylon" represents (Revelation 17:16-17) when they destroy the cities of the nations (Revelation 16:19), probably with nukes (and probably with Fission-Fusion-Fission, "FFF", or "666", nukes, "F" representing the number six in English gematria), at the time of the 7th vial (Revelation 16:17,19), which will be the final event (Revelation 16:17) of the future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6 to 18 and Matthew 24, right before Jesus' 2nd coming (Revelation 19:2 to 20:6, Matthew 24:29-31). They could do this under the direction of Lucifer/Satan (Isaiah 14:17,12), who could want to leave only a literal "scorched earth" for Jesus to return to.

 

Near the very end of the future tribulation, Lucifer (employing the ancient lies of Gnosticism) could say to the Antichrist and his 10 kings something like: "Our great battle against the evil, tyrant god YHWH is about to begin [Revelation 16:14, Revelation 19:19], a battle which we will win, and so we will be able to escape YHWH's prison house, this material universe, and return to the wholly-spiritual Pleroma [i.e. Heaven]. So let us now destroy this prison cell, this foul planet, and let us, as it were, burn up all the gewgaws which we have hung upon our cell walls. Let us burn up all our great cities, all our magnificent systems. Let us break all our chains of attachment to this vile physical realm, that we might more freely ascend back to our rightful place in the Pleroma [cf. Isaiah 14:13-14]".

 

Of course this will be a lie. For at his 2nd coming, Jesus (who is YHWH: John 10:30, Zechariah 14:3-4) will completely defeat the world's armies, arrayed against YHWH (Revelation 16:14, Revelation 19:19-21). And Jesus will have Lucifer bound in the bottomless pit during the subsequent 1,000 years (Revelation 20:1-6, Isaiah 14:15). And Jesus will restore ruined parts of the earth and make them like the Garden of Eden (Ezekiel 36:35, Isaiah 51:3). And after the 1,000 years and subsequent events (Revelation 20:7-15), God will create a new heaven (a new 1st heaven, a new sky/atmosphere for the earth) and a new earth (a new surface for the earth) (Revelation 21:1). And then God will descend from the 3rd heaven in the literal city of New Jerusalem to live with saved humanity on the new earth (Revelation 21:2-4).

Some people believe that the U.S. (the world's current leader) is Revelation's "Babylon". But while the corrupt aspects of the U.S. are included in what Revelation's "Babylon" (Revelation chapters 17-18) represents, it represents much more than just the corrupt aspects of the U.S. For the U.S. just by itself doesn't reign over the kings of the earth (Revelation 17:18). Nor is the U.S. the only place where people buy merchandise (Revelation 18:11). Nor is the U.S. the place where all martyrs have been killed (Revelation 18:24). Nor has the U.S. just by itself corrupted the entire world (Revelation 18:3). Nor has the U.S. been continuously supported by the empires of fallen man throughout history (Revelation 17:9-10). Revelation's symbolic "Babylon" (Revelation chapters 17-18) represents all of mankind's corrupt political (Revelation 17:18), economic (Revelation 18:11), and religious (Revelation 18:24) systems throughout the earth (Revelation 18:3), and throughout history (Revelation 17:9-10).

 

Nonetheless, the corrupt world-system represented by Revelation's "Babylon" may currently be headquartered in Washington DC and New York City, insofar as Washington DC may currently be "the crowning city" (cf. Isaiah 23:8) of mankind's corrupt politics, the first leg of Revelation's "Babylon" (Revelation 17:18). And New York City may currently be "the crowning city" of mankind's corrupt economics, the 2nd leg of Revelation's "Babylon" (Revelation 18:11). "The crowning city" of mankind's corrupt religions, the 3rd leg of Revelation's "Babylon" (Revelation 18:24), may currently be Jerusalem, as it was back in the 1st century AD (Matthew 23:35-38). Ultimately, all 3 legs of Revelation's "Babylon" will become headquartered in the literal, rebuilt city of Babylon (in Iraq), which the Antichrist, during his future, literal 3.5-year worldwide reign (Revelation 13:5-18), will make the capital of the world, only to see his city of Babylon ultimately destroyed at Jesus' 2nd coming (Isaiah 13).

 

Tyre was "the crowning city" of mankind's corrupt economics at one point in ancient times (Isaiah 23:8). God allowed the destruction of ancient Tyre as a lesson, an example, "to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth" (Isaiah 23:9). In the same way, would God allow the future destruction of Washington DC and New York City by terrorist nuclear bombs, as a lesson, an example, "to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth"?

 

Also, the Bible teaches that, without repentance, what is sown is reaped (Galatians 6:7). And 2 nuclear bombs (developed in the "Manhattan" Project) were sown by the U.S. against 2 major cities in Japan (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) in order to terrorize Japan into surrender during World War II. So could the U.S. in the future reap 2 terrorist nuclear bombs against 2 of its own major cities (including Manhattan)? Could the U.S. avoid this fate by publicly repenting before God and asking him and Japan for forgiveness for the U.S. intentionally targeting and murdering 150,000 innocent civilian men, women, and children living in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Could the 9/11 terrorists being allowed by God to intentionally target and murder 3,000 innocent civilian men, women, and children in New York City's Twin Towers and elsewhere in the U.S. have been just a warning to the U.S., a mere shot across its bow, to try to get the U.S. to repent for what it did to the 2 cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? But could the U.S. continue to refuse to repent for its nuclear terrorism against Japan, leaving the way open for nuclear terrorism against the U.S.?

 

Also, a "restrainer" must be taken out of the way before the Antichrist can come into worldwide power (2 Thessalonians 2:6-9, Revelation 13:4-18). This restrainer could be a powerful angel like the one who will restrain Satan at Jesus' 2nd coming (Revelation 20:1-3). It could be Michael the archangel, the angelic prince over Israel (Daniel 12:1, Daniel 10:21,13). Michael could also currently be the angelic prince over the U.S., making sure that it supports Israel. Part of Michael's being taken out of the way, just enough to allow the Antichrist to come into worldwide power, could be God removing Michael's protection of the U.S. just enough to allow Washington DC and New York City to be nuked by terrorists. This could weaken the U.S. not only by the destruction of its political and economic capitals, but also by the subsequent run on the U.S. dollar which could occur, rendering it close to worthless in world markets. The U.S. government could then finally go bankrupt, unable to finance any longer its huge debt, economy, and military. Its days as a superpower (but not as a nation) will be over, opening the way for the Antichrist to come into worldwide power (Revelation 13:4-18).

 

If Washington DC and New York City are attacked with nuclear bombs, will this really be the work of terrorists, such as Islamic jihadis? Or could it be a "false flag" operation, one presented to the world as an Islamic-jihadi attack, when in fact it will have been carefully stage-managed from behind the scenes by a powerful cabal, a worldwide secret society of Gnostic Luciferians, as part of their careful, step-by-step plan to prepare the way for the Antichrist (who is a Gnostic Luciferian: 1 John 4:3, Revelation 13:4) to take over the world?

 

For example, could the Gnostic Luciferian cabal secretly equip some Islamic-jihadi group in Pakistan with 2 nukes and the means to get them into the U.S. and detonate them in New York City and Washington DC? For example, could the 2 nukes be secretly built in North Korea, secretly sold to Iran, secretly delivered to Iran via a plane crossing China, secretly handed off by Iran to the cabal's Islamic-jihadi group in Pakistan, secretly boated over to Thailand, and then secretly brought into the U.S. via 2 shipping containers from Thailand into the Port Newark, New Jersey Container Terminal? And could the 2 shipping containers have been lined with enough lead so as to thwart any radiation-detectors at the Terminal? And could these shipping containers have been filled mostly with tile, kitty litter, or bananas, which give off a natural radiation, so that if the containers are opened and inspected by hand for radiation, it will be thought that the radiation is just from the tile, kitty litter, or bananas, and not from nuclear bombs packed inside lead sarcophagi hidden in the center of the containers?

 

Could both containers in this way get past U.S. inspection? (And could the Gnostic Luciferian cabal also be careful to have its own "moles" or hand-picked and extremely-well bribed and blackmailed inspectors on duty when the containers are passing through U.S. inspection, to make sure that the containers don't get scanned by x-rays, or if they do, that any automatic alarms are disabled and that no other inspectors are present?) And after passing inspection, could one of the containers be trucked to a Newark warehouse, where the nuke will be extracted and placed into a smaller, lead-lined, tile-filled delivery truck, which will then be driven into the very heart of Manhattan, where the nuke will be detonated at a pre-arranged time? And could the other container be trucked to an Alexandria, Virginia warehouse, where the nuke will be extracted and placed into a large SUV? Could the SUV then be driven to a small, local airport in northwestern Maryland, where the nuke will be loaded in the dead of night onto a private jet? Could the jet's transponder be disabled, and the jet be flown low, under radar, down the Potomac, into the very heart of Washington DC, where the nuke will be detonated at the same time as the one in Manhattan?

 

(And even besides this, could a 3rd, nuke-containing shipping container from Thailand end up in a vast shipping-container lot in the Port of Long Beach, California, right next to Los Angeles? And could the Gnostic Luciferian cabal not even bother to have the nuke extracted and driven into or flown over downtown Los Angeles, but simply have the nuke detonated right there in Long Beach harbor (at the same time as the one in Manhattan), so that it completely destroys the major west coast port of the U.S., and wipes out much of hugely-populated Los Angeles and Orange Counties? And could the Gnostic Luciferian cabal's puppet-"Islamic terrorists" claim that they nuked Los Angeles because it contains Hollywood, and contains the San Fernando Valley, a center for pornographic video production, so that Los Angeles has contributed greatly to the corrupt entertainment culture which dominates the world today, even in Islamic countries behind closed doors?)

 

Regarding Jerusalem getting destroyed, at the very end of the future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6 to 18 and Matthew 24, the Antichrist (Daniel 11:45) and the world's armies will attack and pillage Jerusalem, right before Jesus' 2nd coming (Zechariah 14:2-21). And at the 2nd coming there will be tremendous earth changes in the vicinity of Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:4-5). These events could result in all of Jerusalem's structures, including a 3rd Jewish temple (which will be built) and the Wailing Wall (also called the Western Wall) being completely broken down so that not one stone will be left upon another throughout the city (Luke 19:44). Then the returned Jesus (Zechariah 14:4, Acts 1:11-12) will rebuild Jerusalem in righteousness and make it the capital of the world (Zechariah 14:8-19, Micah 4:1-4), during his literal, 1,000-year physical reign on the earth with the physically resurrected church (Revelation 20:4-6, Revelation 5:10, Revelation 2:26-29).

Regarding the scenario above about DC being nuked, someone might ask: "Wouldn't the Army radar blimps near Baltimore detect any low-flying plane headed toward DC?"

 

Yes, unless the Gnostic Luciferian cabal disables the blimps by ramming them with different planes, or by severing their data cords, right before the nuke-carrying plane heads down the Potomac. So the blimps (aerostats) need to be protected from attacks or sabotage.

 

Also, recently a gyrocopter was able to fly low from Gettysburg airport to the Capitol lawn in DC. Even though it was detected, it was not seen as a threat or intercepted because of its lack of a transponder and its slow speed. So this is a loophole which needs to be closed, so that something like this never happens again.

 

-

 

Someone might ask: "Besides the blimps, couldn't the Army stretch very tall, steel-cable meshes across the Potomac at intervals so that any low-flying threat would crash into them and be destroyed before it reaches DC? Or the threat would have to fly over the tall meshes, so that it would appear on ground-based radar?"

 

Yes, unless the threat is able to simply fly around the meshes while remaining low. Also, if the threat flies over the meshes, any appearance on ground-based radar would be only momentary before the threat dives back down. And this only-momentary appearance could be mistakenly dismissed by radar operators and algorithms as just a glitch in the radar.

 

-

 

Someone might ask: "Besides the blimps and meshes, couldn't the Army anchor radar barges in the Potomac at intervals to detect any low-flying threat headed down the Potomac?"

 

Yes, unless the Gnostic Luciferian cabal sends frog men or teams on boats to disable the barge radars, right before the nuke-carrying plane heads down the Potomac. So the barges will need to be protected from attacks or sabotage.

ENOCH2010 said in post 17:

 

The Ezekiel 38 war is next thing on the prophetic clock

 

Note that the Gog/Magog attack on Israel (Ezekiel chapters 38-39) won't occur until after the future millennium (Revelation 20:7-10), when there will be no defensive walls or fear of attack in Israel whatsoever (Ezekiel 38:11). This is the exact opposite of today's situation, when Israel is filled with very high defensive walls and is in constant fear of attack. At the beginning of the millennium, all present-day weapons of war throughout the world will be destroyed and they won't be allowed to be remade during the millennium (Micah 4:3-4). That is why after the millennium, the Gog/Magog armies will employ only rudimentary, wooden weapons like bows and arrows, spears, shields, and clubs (Ezekiel 39:9), which, after the defeat of the Gog/Magog armies, will be able to be used as convenient firewood by the people living in Israel at that time, instead of them having to go out and collect or cut down firewood from the forest (Ezekiel 39:10).

 

The Gog in Revelation 20:8 is the same as in Ezekiel chapters 38-39: an individual human whose personal name is "Gog" (Ezekiel 38:3). He will be the chief leader of a future country which will form somewhere north of Israel (Ezekiel 39:2, Ezekiel 38:15), and which will be called "Magog" (Ezekiel 38:2). It will include at least 2 major cities and/or tribes which will be called "Meshech" and "Tubal" (Ezekiel 38:2). This country could come into existence during the millennium. Gog could be born near the end of the millennium, and he will be killed and buried at the end of the Gog/Magog event (Ezekiel 39:11).

 

Both accounts of the event show that the Gog/Magog armies will ultimately be completely defeated by miraculous fire from heaven (Ezekiel 38:22, Revelation 20:9). While the great white throne judgment (Revelation 20:11-15) will occur subsequent to the Gog/Magog event (Revelation 20:7-15), nothing requires (as is sometimes claimed) that the great white throne judgment has to happen immediately after that event. For there will be at least 7 years (Ezekiel 39:9b) between the end of that event and the great white throne judgment.

 

Also, the Gog/Magog attack won't have to (as is sometimes claimed) involve only the nations listed in Ezekiel chapters 38-39. Those nations could be just a sampling. For the "nations" (ethnos), or peoples, who will be involved in the Gog/Magog attack will come from all over the earth (Revelation 20:8). They will still be physically part of Jesus' worldwide kingdom, still legally under his rule, just as they had been during the preceding millennium (Psalms 72:8-11, Psalms 66:3, Psalms 2). But after the millennium, they will be deceived by Satan into committing the attack (Revelation 20:7-10).

 

Also, while the Gog/Magog attack on Israel won't occur until after the future millennium (Revelation 20:7-10, Ezekiel chapters 38-39), Israel could suffer a different attack before the millennium, at the start of the future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6 to 18 and Matthew 24, which attack could result in Israel's total defeat and occupation (Daniel 11:15-17).

 

And Jerusalem could be attacked and totally defeated in the future at least 3 times before the millennium: once near the start of the future tribulation (Daniel 11:22), then again mid-tribulation (Daniel 11:31), and then at the tribulation's end (Daniel 11:45), right before Jesus' 2nd coming and the start of the millennium (Zechariah 14:2-21).

[Rev2015]

Christ described end time events transpiring as a woman in travail about to give birth. With this analogy we can surmise several things. One, the events will happen like contractions, they will start mild and apart, and as time goes on they will happen more frequent and become more severe with each contraction, until they are one upon another until the end of the events.  There is also, in any birth, an event that when it takes place in the birthing process, there is no looking back, no stopping what transpires afterwards, …and that event is, when the water breaks.

 

I can only assume in Christ’s analogy of  these end time events that there will be one specific event that will transpire, that will initiate the beginning of the travail/birth and once this event takes place the tribulation years will follow and the seal, trumpet, bowl of wrath judgments will be like the contractions of a birth and there will be no stopping or postponing their fulfillments.

 

I am sure there are many opinions on what is the specific water breaking event that begins the initiation of the events, leading to the fulfillment of the last 7 years of earth history just prior to the return of Christ. Some believe it is the resurrection and rapture as described by Paul. Some believe it is the war of Ezekiel 38 and 39, some believe it is the AOD.

 

IMHO, it is Isaiah 17. The destruction of Damascus, in my opinion will be the catalyst that will ignite the Ezekiel battle. Isaiah may be the culminate event to end the battle of Psalm 83. In this battle the inter circle of Islamic (bordering) states surrounding Israel are defeated and are no longer a threat to Israel. If during this battle a salvo of chemical or biological agent armed missiles are fired from Syria (where all the terror factions are currently fighting to gain control of the bio and chemical weaponry once belonging to Iraq and transported to Syria during the Gulf Wars) into Israel killing hundreds if not thousands of Jewish citizens. The Israeli response will be without proportion, they will fire their nuclear weapons on Syria destroying Damascus and the other places described by Isaiah 17. Damascus is the oldest recorded continually inhabited city in the world. It has never been utterly destroyed, left in a ruinous heap, never to be a city again. The nuclear destruction of this city I believe will be the event to watch for. The breaking of the water.

 

This will infuriate the Islamic world, and the outer ring/circle of Islamic nations surrounding Israel described in Ezekiel and along with Russia will attack Israel as described in chapters 38 and 39.

Of course this will be a lie.

And Jesus will have Lucifer bound in the bottomless pit during the subsequent 1,000 years (Revelation 20:1-6, Isaiah 14:15). And Jesus will restore ruined parts of the earth and make them like the Garden of Eden (Ezekiel 36:35, Isaiah 51:3). And after the 1,000 years and subsequent events (Revelation 20:7-15), God will create a new heaven (a new 1st heaven, a new sky/atmosphere for the earth) and a new earth (a new surface for the earth) (Revelation 21:1). And then God will descend from the 3rd heaven in the literal city of New Jerusalem to live with saved humanity on the new earth (Revelation 21:2-4).

And could the other container be trucked to an Alexandria, Virginia warehouse, where the nuke will be extracted and placed into a large SUV? Could the SUV then be driven to a small, local airport in northwestern Maryland, where the nuke will be loaded in the dead of night onto a private jet? Could the jet's transponder be disabled, and the jet be flown low, under radar, down the Potomac, into the very heart of Washington DC, where the nuke will be detonated at the same time as the one in Manhattan?

 

(And even besides this, could a 3rd, nuke-containing shipping container from Thailand end up in a vast shipping-container lot in the Port of Long Beach, California, right next to Los Angeles? And could the Gnostic Luciferian cabal not even bother to have the nuke extracted and driven into or flown over downtown Los Angeles, but simply have the nuke detonated right there in Long Beach harbor (at the same time as the one in Manhattan), so that it completely destroys the major west coast port of the U.S., and wipes out much of hugely-populated Los Angeles and Orange Counties? And could the Gnostic Luciferian cabal's puppet-"Islamic terrorists" claim that they nuked Los Angeles because it contains Hollywood, and contains the San Fernando Valley, a center for pornographic video production, so that Los Angeles has contributed greatly to the corrupt entertainment culture which dominates the world today, even in Islamic countries behind closed doors?)

 

Regarding Jerusalem getting destroyed, at the very end of the future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6 to 18 and Matthew 24, the Antichrist (Daniel 11:45) and the world's armies will attack and pillage Jerusalem, right before Jesus' 2nd coming (Zechariah 14:2-21). And at the 2nd coming there will be tremendous earth changes in the vicinity of Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:4-5). These events could result in all of Jerusalem's structures, including a 3rd Jewish temple (which will be built) and the Wailing Wall (also called the Western Wall) being completely broken down so that not one stone will be left upon another throughout the city (Luke 19:44). Then the returned Jesus (Zechariah 14:4, Acts 1:11-12) will rebuild Jerusalem in righteousness and make it the capital of the world (Zechariah 14:8-19, Micah 4:1-4), during his literal, 1,000-year physical reign on the earth with the physically resurrected church (Revelation 20:4-6, Revelation 5:10, Revelation 2:26-29).

Regarding the scenario above about DC being nuked, someone might ask: "Wouldn't the Army radar blimps near Baltimore detect any low-flying plane headed toward DC?"

 

Yes, unless the Gnostic Luciferian cabal disables the blimps by ramming them with different planes, or by severing their data cords, right before the nuke-carrying plane heads down the Potomac. So the blimps (aerostats) need to be protected from attacks or sabotage.

 

Also, recently a gyrocopter was able to fly low from Gettysburg airport to the Capitol lawn in DC. Even though it was detected, it was not seen as a threat or intercepted because of its lack of a transponder and its slow speed. So this is a loophole which needs to be closed, so that something like this never happens again.

Someone might ask: "Besides the blimps, couldn't the Army stretch very tall, steel-cable meshes across the Potomac at intervals so that any low-flying threat would crash into them and be destroyed before it reaches DC? Or the threat would have to fly over the tall meshes, so that it would appear on ground-based radar?"

 

Yes, unless the threat is able to simply fly around the meshes while remaining low. Also, if the threat flies over the meshes, any appearance on ground-based radar would be only momentary before the threat dives back down. And this only-momentary appearance could be mistakenly dismissed by radar operators and algorithms as just a glitch in the radar.

 

-

 

Someone might ask: "Besides the blimps and meshes, couldn't the Army anchor radar barges in the Potomac at intervals to detect any low-flying threat headed down the Potomac?"

 

Yes, unless the Gnostic Luciferian cabal sends frog men or teams on boats to disable the barge radars, right before the nuke-carrying plane heads down the Potomac. So the barges will need to be protected from attacks or sabotage.

 

 

How does this very long 'what if' scenario address signs of the end times??? Sorry, Bible2, but this just isn't germane to the topic.

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?

Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. then shall that Wicked be revealed,

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Jesus Christ will come to receive his bride at an hour we think not.

Some say that rapture is near and then others say the rapture is not near. So if it's not last days or rapture. What prophetic event is going to come next. Isn't it possible that what is going on with Israel has to do with last days. What is the purpose of all these signs were seeing today if it means nothing. Kinda like we see gay marriages in america now, but it don't mean last days or we hear things going on in Israel, but Jesus is not coming. We hear and seen blood moons coming, but it's not a sign. So my board friends. Is Jesus coming or not. Cause I get real excited knowing and studying about his return. Then when everything that is going on in this world means nothing and he's not coming. Then I get sad. So if not last days and he isn't coming. What is going on in our world.

 

Wishful thinking about the rapture is intellectual escapism.  It's a little deeper than watching Star Wars fifty times, but not much.

 

Judgment is coming against America and THAT is what's next.   Our sins have mounted up to heaven and God in His holiness will not restrain His hand much longer.

 

It's in the wind.   A lot of folks, whose eyes aren't fixed upon their petty sins and debauchery, know it.   A lot of us feel something is terribly wrong and that God isn't going to let it slip by this time.  He is going to have His day.   Soon.

 

I used to think that something could be said or done to stop it, but better men than I seem to think we've passed the point of no return.   

I used to think that Christians would be excused somehow, but now I don't believe that either.  We are all a party to the licentiousness and wickedness.  We have all given our allegiance to it and we will all participate in judgment in one way or another.

 

There will be no escapist rapture.  I could be wrong, but if that event really does happen it won't happen until God has dispatched America.  He will wipe us clean the way a man wipes a plate.   I've seen Him do it before, believe me.  Things are never the same afterward.

 

Some of us will live through it.   Out there, on the other side of judgment, we will have to admit that God was right after all and we were terribly terribly wrong.   We have forgotten why and how we got saved in the first place.   Maybe then we will remember and be better for it.

 

IF GOD DOES NOT JUDGE AMERICA, HE WILL HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH.

 

and that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
