I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
— Revelation 6:12-14 (NIV)
If you’re still looking for signs the end of the world is near, they don’t come much clearer than what happened in Ames on Saturday night.
(I still hate it when we don’t wear cardinal and gold.)
