All Saints Day

Came on All Hallow's Eve
Nine minutes of hell.
The children had pomegranate
Sweet Breads, apples 
And nuts dropped into their bags
While the masses were in mass.
And thirteen thousand houses
Would be destroyed.
Church, palace, convent
Nothing was left
After the fires, the waters
And the Earth.
The waves swallowed the treasures of kings
Diamond, carbuncle, corundum, beryl, onyx 
Tsunamis tore into the sleepy city with golddust waves;
Killing 50.000 souls.
Half the country's gross Domestic Product
Was eaten by the trembling of
A Nine Richter Scale quake.

Many lost their faith.
Why?

Was it because All Saints Day
Would later become Halloween?
Was it because God hated the veneration of the saints?
Was it a natural phenomena, uncontrolled by God's hand?

The answer is no.
Jesus answered the riddle seventeen hundred and fifty five years
Prior.

In the end days, there would be rumors of war
And wars, and great earthquakes and famines
And plagues in diverse places.
There was another earthquake
That same year which hit Morocco.

The thing is, we ought to be ready to abandon our wealth
Our lives, our livelihoods for Christ.
For the days of His coming are nigh;
Like Poseidon, he comes with the quaking of the earth
And the rising of the seas
To wash away.
Yet, it is not diverse gods
But only one.
To remind man that He is the one Who brings fortune.
He is the one who brings destruction.
On good and evil, such things will overcome them.
Because it is a sign of the time
And if we get complacent, and comfortable,
Sometimes we need to be shaken out of our slumber
To remember the awesome power of providence.
