Thanks Leov,
Now that we've witnessed the "lightening out of the east," we can understand, when "the lighting shineth even unto the west" it be our ultimate demise. A devastating nuclear apocalypse, followed by nuclear winter, with the upper atmosphere filled with nuclear ash.

Thanks, Man. The scrolls are intensely relevant to what people believe today. I had the opportunity to see a scrolls exhibit about 10 years ago in Seattle. I was very moved to be in the presence of such sacred documents.
