"The presence of peace doesn't mean there's no war in the hearts of men, and the absence of war doesn't mean there's peace. The calm before the storm is deceptive, a fleeting illusion that belies the turmoil brewing beneath the surface. For in the depths of human hearts, a battle rages, a struggle between good and evil, between light and darkness.

There'll be famine coming, and we will suffer. The land will be scorched, the skies will be gray, and the earth will be barren. The governments of the world will crumble, and we will be left to fend for ourselves. The rule of law will give way to the law of the jungle, where only the strongest survive.

Fathers will abandon their families, fleeing from the chaos, while mothers will be forced to sell their daughters for a scrap of bread. Children will be orphaned, wandering the streets, searching for a glimmer of hope. The world as we know it will cease to exist, and a new order will emerge, one that is harsh, cruel, and unforgiving.

But even in the midst of such great unrest, there is a glimmer of hope. A light that shines bright, a beacon that guides us through the darkness. It is the light of the Creator, the love of God, the hope of salvation. For in the end, it is not the governments of the world that will save us, but the grace of God.

So let us prepare for the moment, let us ready ourselves for the storm that is coming. Let us turn to God, let us seek His face, and let us find solace in His love. For in the end, it is not the wars of men that will define us, but the peace of God that will sustain us."
