[The World] Bank said urgent action was needed to prevent widespread deaths from starvation within the next two months.
When you’re dead set on -making- your propheses come true…
Revelations is going to be entirely man-made, huh?
And then it’ll blow over without a Judgement Day at the end, just another, “Whoops… How did we let that happen?”
