Reblogged this on melbrake and commented:
Fire will fall from the sky before man who has turned money into a god, thus losing sensitivity and feelings. The calamity will start one morning in which man will feel he is going insane, metal will melt like wax in a fire; instants when Faith will sustain the humble and the powerful will be beggars.
