IT WAS THE CRACK OF DAWN EARLY ONE MORNING WHEN IT ALL HAPPENED. I THOUGHT JUST ANOTHER NORMAL DAY IT WOULD BE. WAKE UP GET WASHED SHAVED GET DRESSED EAT HUG MY FAMILY AND KISS MY WIFE GOODBYE THEN OFF TO WORK. IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW I WOULD’VE ASKED FORGIVENESS TO REMOVE MY SINS THAT’S WHEN I STEPPED OUTSIDE UNPREPARED FOR THE DAY AND HOUR OF THE UNKNOWN SUDDEN IMPACT I STOPPED IN MY TRACKS BY WHAT I SAW IN THE SKY A BRIGHT FLASH OF LIGHT AS FAR FROM EAST TO WEST LIKE LIGHTNING STRIKES FOR A MOMENT BLINDED MY EYES. TO MY SURPRISE I STARTED TO REALIZE AN INSTANT CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE ATMOSPHERE BEGAN TO RAIN CLOUDS BECAME DARK; FEAR SETTLED IN HEARTS, THE WIND BLEW WITHOUT CEASE. A THOUGHT CAME TO REMEMBRANCE THE MARK OF THE BEAST I SHOOK THE THOUGHTS OUT OF MY MIND CONTINUED ON MY WAY THINKING IT WAS JUST ANOTHER STORMY DAY. SO I DROVE OFF TO THE NEAREST CORNER STORE TO BUY MYSELF A CUP OF COFFEE AND MORE STEP TO THE REGISTER HANDED HER TWO QUARTERS TWO DIMES SHE SAID .75 CENTS SIR I REACHED IN MY POCKET FOR LOOSE CHANGE WHILE STARRING OUT THE WINDOW I SAW SOMETHING STRANGE AS I PASSED HER MY NICKEL. MILITARY VEHICLES HUMVEE SETTING UP A BLOCKADE CHECKING IDENTITIES OF DRIVERS WHO PASS ON BY. I SAID TO THE CLERK WHATS GOING ON? AND WITH A TEARY EYED SHE REPLIED HAVEN’T YOU HEARD? THE PRESIDENT BEEN SHOT AND KILLED AND MARTIAL LAW IS TAKING EFFECT AGAINST OUR WILL. MY COFFEE SPILLED BURNING MY HAND DRIPPING OVER THE NEWSPAPER STAND OF USA TODAY THE FRONT PAGE NEWS READ 24 HOURS BEFORE NUCLEAR STRIKE BEGINS IS THIS THE END I THOUGHT ABOUT FAMILY AND FRIENDS I FELL TO THE FLOOR ON MY HANDS AND KNEES BEGGING GOD FOR MERCY PLEASE DON’T LET THIS BE… REPEAT 4X It was the Night the Thief came. two in a Bed, One was taken and the other left…LEFT It was the Night the Thief came. two in a field, One was taken and the other left.. .LEFT. It was the Night the Thief came. two in a Bed, One was taken and the other left… LEFT. It was the Night the Thief came. two in a field, One was taken and I WAS LEFT. ALL OF A SUDDEN BENEATH MY FEET WHERE I STOOD THE GROUND SHOOK THE GREATEST EARTHQUAKE EVER KNOWN TO MAN 1/3RD OF THE CITY COLLAPSE I WAS BURRIED UNDER SHELVES AND GLASS AND WHEN THE DUST SETTLED BARELY I WAS ABLE TO CRAWL OUT OF THE DEBREE REACHING OUT MY HAND ( cough sound COUGHING UP BLOOD ) PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME! WHILE FADING IN AND OUT OF CONSIOUSNESS. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF I’M NOT SUPPOSE TO BE HERE ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT I COULD LIVE LIFE WHAT SEEM RIGHT IN MY OWN EYES BUT IN THE END LEAD TO MY OWN DESTRUCTION IF SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN HEAR ME PLEASE DO SOMETHING. MY LIFE BEGAN TO FLASH BEFORE MY EYES WONDERING WHY? I DIDN’T LISTEN EVEN TO MY OWN SPOUSE AND CHILDREN. ALL I COULD THINK WAS GET HOME BUT THE STINCH OF DEATH WAS ALL AROUND AND WHEN I THOUGHT IT COULDN’T GET WORSE (100lb HUNDRED POUND ) FIERY HAILSTONES FELL FROM THE SKY FROM THE FRAGMENTS OF THE PLANETS THAT COLLIDE IN MY MIND I FEARFULLY SAID WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS IN A INSTANT MY BODY ASTRO PROJECTED TO A SEAT ALONE IN A DARK CATACOMB THERE STOOD BEFORE ME ON A SCREEN WATCHING MY MOTHER GIVE BIRTH TO ME MORE THAN DIGITAL VIDEO GRAPHIC MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD GROWING UP A VERY DETAILED TIMELINE OF THE HISTORY OF MY LIFE TO THE PRESENT TIME I SAW EVERY MOMENT IN LIFE THAT I REJECTED CHRIST THEN A GREAT BOOK WAS OPEN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE AN ANGEL SAID UNLESS I REPENT MY NAME WILL NOT BE WRITTEN I WILL NOT ENTER PARADISE. FOR THE COWARDLY, THE FAITHLESS, DETESTABLE, MURDERERS, SEXUALLY IMMORAL, SORCERERS, IDOLATERS AND ALL LIARS, THEIR PORTION WILL BE IN THE LAKE THAT BURNS WITH SULFUR AND FIRE WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH. ( AFTER YOU DIE IN YOUR FLESH ) THEIR WILL BE WEEPING KNASHING OF TEETH AND WHERE YOUR MIND WON’T FORGET I THOUGHT WHEN WILL THIS NIGHTMARE END HOPING THIS TO BE A DREAM THEN THE ANGEL SPOKE NOW YOU KNOW ALL THESE THINGS FOR GOD IS FAITHFUL AND JUST HE WILL BRING TO AN END OF TOLERANCE FOR YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU DECIDE TO DO. TODAY THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS REVEALED HIMSELF TO YOU. REPEAT 4X It was the Night the Thief came. two in a Bed, One was taken and the other left…LEFT It was the Night the Thief came. two in a field, One was taken and the other left.. .LEFT. It was the Night the Thief came. two in a Bed, One was taken and the other left… LEFT. It was the Night the Thief came. two in a field, One was taken and I WAS LEFT.

Job 41 1“Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook or press down his tongue with a cord? 2 Can you put a rope in his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook? 3 Will he make many pleas to you? Will he speak to you soft words? 4 Will he make a covenant with you to take him for your servant forever? 5 Will you play with him as with a bird, or will you put him on a leash for your girls? 6 Will traders bargain over him? Will they divide him up among the merchants? 7 Can you fill his skin with harpoons or his head with fishing spears? 8 Lay your hands on him; remember the battle—you will not do it again! 9 Behold, the hope of a man is false; he is laid low even at the sight of him. 10 No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me? 11 Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine. 12 “I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, or his mighty strength, or his excellent frame. 13 Who can strip off his outer garment? Who would come near him with a bridle? 14 Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth is terror. 15 His back is made of rows of shields, shut up closely as with a seal. 16 One is so near to another that no air can come between them. 17 They are joined one to another; they clasp each other and cannot be separated. 18 His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn. 19 Out of his mouth go flaming torches; sparks of fire leap forth. 20 Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes. 21 His breath kindles coals, and a flame comes forth from his mouth. 22 In his neck abides strength, and terror dances before him. 23 The folds of his flesh stick together, firmly cast on him and immovable. 24 His heart is hard as a stone, hard as the lower millstone. 25 When he raises himself up the mighty are afraid; at the crashing they are beside themselves. 26 Though the sword reaches him, it does not avail, nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin. 27 He counts iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. 28 The arrow cannot make him flee; for him sling stones are turned to stubble. 29 Clubs are counted as stubble; he laughs at the rattle of javelins. 30 His underparts are like sharp potsherds; he spreads himself like a threshing sledge on the mire. 31 He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment. 32 Behind him he leaves a shining wake; one would think the deep to be white-haired. 33 On earth there is not his like, a creature without fear. 34 He sees everything that is high; he is king over all the sons of pride.”
