Signs of the Times.

Throughout my youth I attended numberless 'fireside meetings' as a result of my membership with the Mormon church. In particular, I enjoyed the many teachings on the Signs of the Times, in other words, the signs the will pre empty the supposed return of the messiah. There are many events that will supposedly come to pass during the end days, some of which are mentioned in the book of revelations. These signs include, but are not limited to, wars and rumors of wars, plague, pestilence, famine, and a general 'wickedness among men'. I remember one meeting in particular. One sign they mentioned was the 'raining down of blood' which I believe is also mentioned in the book or Revelations. One day while I was sleuthing through the internet ethers, I came upon an article that actually spoke of this raining down of blood. Kind of weird. Here is the article:

So I read through it thinking it was a quasi crock of shite. But then I spyed a cover of the magazine "New Science"(I think) and guess what the cover article was..... Red rain is falling down. The paranoid portion of my brain and his favorite friend, conspiracy mind, then started to recall the other 'signs' mentioned. On particular sign was that in the year before the return, there would be no rainbows seen, probably due to a lack of rain. How long has it not rained in Phoenix?

Oddly enough I heard this talk at the house of a nice gentleman who later on ended up murdering his wife while he was sleep walking as his two children slept soundly in their upstairs bedrooms. It was nice eating the cotton candy that we all made together in his backyard, the same backyard where he repeatedly stabbed and then drowned his wife a few years later. Oh the irony . . . . .
