Great Babylon has fallen. She made people drink up her wine.
Strong wine, immoral lust!
Those woshipping the Beast and image find they will be drinking
God's wine of fury poured out!
This calls for strengh! This calls for faith! This calls for endurance!
"Use your sickle, cut the grapes from vineyards of the earth because they're ripe for harvest!"
Angles swing their sickles on the Earth and they
Cut the grapes from the vine and they throw them down into the press
And a flood came out of the press.
It was two hundred miles long and about a thousand feet deep!

The Washington's Birthday holiday!
George's (February 22, 1732 - December 14, 1799) -- depicted above by
Gilbert Stuart (b. surname Stewart, December 3, 1755 – July 9, 1828), himself painted by
Sarah Goodridge (February 5, 1788 - December 28, 1853) -- celebration now always occurs third Monday of the month (each year sometime in the interval of 15-21). He was, of course, a close chronological contemporary of
Franz Joseph Haydn (March 31, 1732 - May 31, 1809).
The vacation date has also been called Presdient's Day, but not in California and elsewhere, where Abraham Lincoln's (February 12, 1809 - April 15, 1865) birth is celebrated as a separate holiday, which could just as well fete
Charles Darwin (February 12, 1809 - April 19, 1882)! And their near-birth bro (all these Feb dates!)
Felix Mendelssohn (February 3, 1809 - November 4, 1847).
At any rate, this weekday break as the 47th day of spring,
high up 3 to 56...
