the end of days: the Plague of Sores page 4 by ric Gustafson


Rory stood at a distance and watched as Simpato and some One World soldiers approached the steps of the Temple. He was constantly moving because of the sores all over his body. Rory could see a couple of soldiers dragging a huge pig by a rope.
As Carlo neared the entrance to the Temple, an old grey haired man stepped right in front of him.
He stuck a finger in Carlo's face. " You dare blaspheme God".
" Your God, where is your God?" he replied as he pushed the old man aside. " Who are you anyway?".
The old man looked right at Simpato. " People call me John".
" Well John, I have important things to do right now". He walked past the old man and up the steps into the Temple. " I will deal with you later". He and some soldiers walked past the Court of Women and the Court of Men. Then he encountered some priests  who refused to leave. " Will you bow down and worship me?".
" No" they said in unison.
" Then all of you will die". He quickly walked past them toward the Holy of Holies. He pointed at his guards. " Shoot them until they are dead". He walked up to the veil hiding the Holy of Holies. He took a knife and sliced the veil in two. Two soldiers brought him the pig. Carlo took the knife and slashed the pig's throat. He took the blood and splattered it all over the altar of the Holy of Holies.
He walked over to a nearby window and looked down to the masses below. " Why pay homage to an altar of brass when you can pay homage to me".
John stepped out of the crowd. " One day, you will face judgment and stand before God".
