"THE END OF DAYS IS NEAR"

Warning (especially to Evangelists): This is meant to be serious entertainment. Please don't spread it around to pollute the intellect.

How do we know? First, cosmic cataclysm. We have rising sea level, super hurricanes, forest fires that run out of control. God is punishing humankind for its "dominion ... all over the earth."

Second, tribulations. The pandemic made worse by the incompetence and warped values of the Trump administration is a shining example.

Third, the antichrist appears. Who? You guessed right.

Finally, the consummation. God has finally won the battle over Satan (who is more warlike, with his lieutenants St. Michael and St. George?). Paradise will be restored. All wrongs are to be righted. Justice and peace will be established (but only if we get rid of the antichrist).

What about Satan? Here is what he says (see "Lucifer's Descent into Hell" in Rewriting Psychology: An Abysmal Science?):

Thus spake Lucifer

Cast into a lake of fire and brimstone,
Tormented day and night forever
And ever, this is the mother of all tortures!
Hoping against hope that never comes,
Down and down we go,
Layer upon layer of the Inferno,
Into the vast abyss that knows not
Where to end.
No heavenly angels sing;
We hear only the Devil’s Trill.
Lure and lust red hot inflame
Burning desire unconsumed.
O what sadist has invented Hell!

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on."
Robert Frost (Poet) 1874 - 1963
