RE: Watching the Middle Ages Burn
And here we sit...
Waiting for the conflagration of the ages, "...when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God..." *.
Waiting, ever waiting for that day when "...the kings of the earth... will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning..." *
Sobering.
It is sobering, my friend. You caught the Biblical allusion, not as whimsical as frost's tongue-in-cheek poem:
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
