The Bible predicts that the earth will be destroyed in fire. Preachers used to make this proclamation during their efforts to gain converts, but these days the world is hoping for better times that will last a millennium. They hope to usher it in next year. When the U.S. and her tiny band of coalition members drove Iraq out of Kuwait, the result was an apocalyptic vision of smoke and fire when all of Kuwait's oil wells were torched and raw crude dumped into the gulf. Everyone in the world wants to live and everyone in the world does not want someone to steal what they believe belongs to them.
People tend to defend themselves and retaliate when that occurs.
Some humans hope to escape because they know where that cave is or they have stashed a few beans somewhere. Sorry to have to wake those poor souls up, but a few stashed beans won't make a dent in the hell men have prepared for themselves. I suppose one could say payday is on its way. It sure isn't very encouraging to one who thought he was protecting himself all these years by electing officials who would promise to make more bombs. Now we may have to eat them.
