Flee Flee Flee

In 2012 the preacher for Live For God’s Kingdom had biblically deciphered the mysteries of the Mayan Apocalypse. Scoot Reeve advised his flock to flee in St. Joseph, Michigan to Jerusalem as a safe refuge for true believers. His sermons of the Last of Days had reinforced the doomsday convictions of my old friend, the ex-model from Paris and she had written me a warning.

“The Beast is a new world order and I think has tied to the International Monetary Fund–which will prevent those faithful to Christ from buying or selling because they will not bow down to this satanic world’s demand of receiving its mark of 666 upon their forehead and hand. The love of God in Christ and His Word are eternal.”

Normally I responded to her apocalyptical fears with sardonic derision, however the next day a friend had spotted a car caravan of doomsayers in the West Village. The loudspeakers chanting out the date, May 21, 2011, the new and revised End of Times. The religious were chomping at the bit for Armageddon, so their beloved Jesus will transport them into the Rapture. They have no sense of humor, but the beauty of humanity is that we see the funny side of tragedy.

And according to some pundit, here’s how the media will report the End.
