The prophet mutter his pronouncements to a jaded congregation that paid no attention. They didn’t need to hear the truth from the mouth of a crazed zealot to understand this time was different. The world really was coming to an end. At least all the parts that mattered.
War. Drought. Pestilence. Disease.
Everything promised had finally arrived, and the people, rather than tending to their own affairs, were content to rage and destroy and ensure that everyone would meet the same fate. Leave nothing behind.
The prophet continued to mumble for anyone who might be listening.
“After destruction comes rebirth.”
