Patriarchs and Prophets
when religious teachers are pointing forward to long ages of peace
and prosperity, and the world are absorbed in their rounds of business
and pleasure, planting and building, feasting and merrymaking, re-
jecting God’s warnings and mocking His messengers—then it is that
sudden destruction cometh upon them, and they shall not escape.

Thessalonians 5:3
