Reading This Might Just Save Your Life!The chastisements will be small and localized at first. Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornados, volcanic eruptions, fires and floods, followed by plagues that will include invasions of locusts, mosquitos and killer bees. Diseases will spread out of control and there will be civil unrest and great wars. Some will resort to prayer and penance. But not enough will repent and mankind will be struck with an illumination of conscience (enlightenment) that will enable each to vividly recall every sin ever committed. At this, some will die of fright and some will repent and praise God, but not enough will amend their lives. The enlightenment will be followed by a comet crashing to earth or passing by so close as to cause three days of darkness in which the entire earth will be blackened. During these days, the gates of hell will be opened, and the demons unleashed to roam the earth freely in search of souls. To survive, windows must be covered, and people must pray. Anyone who ventures outside or even looks out upon God's wrath will be struck down instantly. Demons will knock at the door with voices imitating those of loved ones, but the person who opens the door will find instant death. At the end of the three days, people will emerge to find up to three quarters of the human population and all animal and plant-life dead. Everything will have been destroyed, and the living will envy the dead. But there will be peace and joy following these days. All you need to do is to survive and turn to God. The warning is clear as are the requirements necessary to survive the great chastisement. Before the End of the Age describes those warning-signs using prophetic utterances from the beginning of time to the year 2020. All you need to know to anticipate, survive or perhaps even avoid the chastisement is contained within the pages of this book.
