The lost chapter of Revelations, Chapter 23, foretold of the the coming onslaught:
Revelations 23:1 In the Revelation passed onto me by the Lord I saw the tall man coming up out of the earth and he had two followers;a small, kindly box that chirped and hummed like a songbird alongside a gargantuan beast with legs like tree trunks, a chest larger than that of an ox, eyes of flame and an unsurpassed manhood.… read more “New, Final Chapter of the Bible’s Book of Revelations Found!
