Long Shadows

The sun sets on Babylon.  The old head of the eagle is gone and only the right and left wings remain.  The new head will never be able to reunite the old wings.  As the light lowers and the shadows dramatically lengthen, darkness has come upon the land of the free and home of the brave.  A fathomless schism has appeared, a great quake has ruptured the nation and split it into two.  Never again the twain shall meet.  Truth beckons to one, delusion to the other.  Life to the one, death to the other.  Can you serve both God and mammon?

At the midnight hour, the wicked one shall finally show his true form.  A devil hidden in a man.  The beast he commands rises to greet him and all applaud as he calls forth the beast to devour his enemies, the sons of truth.  Three beasts spring forth and guttle all the sheep, tearing all to pieces in a savage attack and a violent rampage.  The whore wipes her wine-sodden lips and declares, "I sit as queen and nobody can oppose me."  She knows not that the very serpent she rides must consume her flesh.  It is the nature of evil, it is self-annihilation, for evil is the birth of death and the offspring of a lie, and a lie is that which is not.  It must be that it turns to nothing, for it never was.

Truth is eternal, true life cannot end.  Let the dead bury their own dead.
You..... follow Christ.
