The Architect of the Universe is displeased with the way humans are behaving on Earth. You watch the news on TV. You see what is happening all over the world, the wars, the killing, the corruption and the proliferation of nuclear weapons of mass destruction. There is a total disregard for human life as well as the planet itself... the planet He created. God assembles a conclave to proclaim there will be a Planetary Cleansing and designates Jeremiah Delossantos to be His prophet; the one who will communicate the impending apocalypse to the people of Earth. Jeremiah is a good man, recently retired, who loves to flyfish and play his dreadnought guitar.The Creator summons Carlos, a temporary guardian angel, who has done work for him in the past, and tasks him with guiding and protecting the prophet. This cataclysm will be an all-hands-on deck event requiring the full Choirs of Angels, the Communion of Saints, and the support of the White House, in Washington, D.C.Many will scoff at the notion that the end of times has arrived. Others will claim the prophet is nothing more than a charlatan. Many, as you recall, also laughed at Noah. These disastrous events will be of Biblical proportions. Beware, you've been warned!
