The Road Hosea 6:5: "Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth."
Recently a co-worker flew to Las Vegas to visit some friends. He spent a few days in Las Vegas and said that the pandemic (I call it the fake pandemic) has really devastated the economy of Las Vegas. He said that the casinos are now open three or four days a week. The number of tourists visiting Las Vegas are way down from a year ago.
I had a dream about a Las Vegas earthquake back in 2006. Because of that dream, I thought that someday Las Vegas would have a literal, physical earthquake. Maybe that dream was not about a literal earthquake, but that the Lord would devastate the economy of Las Vegas. I also had a dream in 2017. In that dream, this man walked up to me and gave me a piece of paper with the words: “see ‘las vegas earthquake'”. Because of that dream, I believe that the Lord wanted me to reread and reexamine the Las Vegas Earthquake dream that He gave me in 2006.
Dreams are either literal or figurative. So instead of a literal earthquake destroying Las Vegas, we have a figurative earthquake (fake pandemic) destroying the economy of Las Vegas. And maybe Las Vegas represents the United States. The fake pandemic has devastated the economy and society of the United States.
A friend of mine told me that a spiritual Christian told her that the fake pandemic was God’s judgment on the United States and the world because of abortion. I believe that is true. Mark Taylor, the prophet, said that the fake pandemic is God’s judgment on the church system. I believe that is also true. Many people are not able to go to church on Sunday, so they are having home churches–and that is probably what the Lord wanted all along. The first church buildings weren’t built till around 400 A.D. Too many people think that the church is a physical building. It is not. The church is the people. Too many pastors are pastors of church buildings or church organizations–they are not pastors of the people. John Wesley used to preach on horseback or in the town square. George Fox used to preach out in the country–in the fields and the pastures. Our lives are preaching to others everyday whether we realize it or not. The life in Christ is the sermon. Our lives can be more powerful than words. “For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.” (I Corinthians 4:20)
Numbers 12:6: “And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.”
I Corinthians 13:12: “For now we see through a glass, darkly.”
A Christian lady named Nita gave me a ride from Kooskia to Grangeville, Idaho earlier today. She told me that Las Vegas has the biggest school for witches and warlocks in the United States.
I told Nita that I have hitchhiked through Las Vegas several times over the years. The last time I hitchhiked through Las Vegas was back in December of 2005. At that time, I told the Lord that I hated Las Vegas and asked that He never have me hitchhike through that city again. In 2006, I had a dream about a Las Vegas earthquake.
Nita told me that dogs can sense an earthquake before it happens. She had a dog that knew an earthquake was going to happen in 1971, when she was living in Southern California. In 1994, her dog sensed the Northridge Earthquake before it happened. She lived in Southern California for a number of years before she moved to Idaho.
Ezekiel 21: 27-32: “I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him. And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering: Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end. Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity. And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy. Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.”
At the beginning of this century, the French island of Martinique was a prosperous colony in the Caribbean and was known as the Paris of the West Indies. The capital St. Pierre had a population of some 30,000 and lay at the foot of Mount Pelée, an old dormant volcano. During 1902, boiling water and steam were seen erupting from the crater and on April 25th, a scientific expedition was sent up to investigate. The island’s newspaper, Les Colonies published the findings and told the inhabitants that there was no reason to be afraid.
However, some individuals began to get worried, but were mocked by various editorials of the newspaper. Day by day, life became unbearable on the island. A hideous odour of sulphur filled the air and birds dropped out of the air asphyxiated by the ash and sulphur.
By May 3rd businessmen and prudent individuals moved to the Southern part of the Island. However, the newspaper continued to mock, and on May 7th it published an interview with Professor M. Landes which read, “Mont Pelee presents no more danger to the inhabitants of St. Pierre than does Vesuvius to those of Naples.” The Newspaper added, “We confess we cannot understand this panic. Where could one be better off than in St. Pierre?”
On the morning of May 8th, at 7:52 AM exactly, the Volcano erupted and exploded. There was no warning as the side of the mountain ripped out. Super heated steam at a temperature of 1000 degrees Centigrade blasted out at hurricane speed obliterating the whole town and incinerating 30,000 people. Only two men survived the destruction, a prisoner, who was in the town dungeon and a cobbler who hid in his cellar.
How like many in the world today who treat God like an extinct volcano. They doubt His existence, mock at the thought of hell and judgment, laugh at the Bible, and continue in their sinful ways, all the while neglecting the salvation of their souls.
The Bible tells us:
“the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Thessalonians 1).
The good news of the gospel message is that you can be saved from the wrath to come by hiding in Christ. He bore the judgment of God against sin, when He died upon the cross. He rose again from the dead and is in heaven today. He is a refuge for sinners who put their faith in Him. To neglect Christ is to put yourself in danger for God will judge this sinful world. The Bible warns us “Be not deceived, God is not mocked” (Galatians 6v7)

May 8, 1902, account of a catastrophe:
VOLCANO DESTROYS WESTINDIAN TOWN
St. Pierre, Martinique, Entirely Wiped Out
DEAD MAY NUMBER 25,000
It is Said that All the Inhabitants of the Town Have Been Killed
May 8 7H50 in the morning, Saint-Pierre and the Preacher are wiped off the map
May 8, it is the catastrophe. The stopper of lava which blocks the crater resisted the pressure of the gases which then make burst the most fragile part of the Mount Pelé. Gas clouds charged with ashes and with sulfur, heated with 1000°, descend on the city at more than 200 km/h. A little before 8 hours in the morning, the volcanic cloud strikes Saint-Pierre. The pressure of gases, projected at high speed, reverses all on its passage. In a few seconds any trace of life disappears. Houses and monuments are puffed up. Solid walls of stone, broad of one measures, break down. 30,000 people die instantaneously, thrown out of gear, asphyxiated on the spot by the violence of the shock. Heat causes the explosion of thousands of rum barrels piled up in the multiple warehouses and factories of the city. The explosions follow one another, still a long time after the passage of the cloud. Floods of ignited liquid run out in the streets, completing to calcine the bodies. The shock wave reaches the sea. A tidal wave of 3 meter high falls down on the ships at anchor, at the same time as the gas cloud. Capsized or set fire to, a score of boats run. The city and the neighbourhood are shaven. Small pieces of rock torn off with the volcano are projected to Fort-de-France. A shroud of hot ashes covers all the island with Martinique. The “Small Paris of the Antilles” ceased existing.
I recently read the story of the French island of Martinique. In 1902, it was noticed that Mt. Pelée was giving off smoke and had minor eruptions. Scientists gave soothing predictions but, on 8 May 1902, they were buried along with a population of about 30,000 who were wiped out in the cataclysmic eruption. Many islanders had been mockers of God. Over Easter, some had “crucified” a pig. Little did they expect a literal fiery hell that was soon to swallow them.

Eruption of Vesuvius: Destruction of Pompeii, 79 A.D.:
One notable aspect of Pompeii which archaeologists have abundantly evidenced is its pervasive eroticism, which, as was typical, was associated with pagan religion (even the gladiator games began as honoring pagan gods).
The discovery of this lewdness shocked researchers from Christian influenced English society, as one expressed:
Ancient relics . . . are full of objects so indecent, if we compare them to modern compositions, that the brush or needle of our Artists hardly dares to reproduce them for us. The word chosen for their classification was pornography, a word formulated by German art historian C.O Muller, who’s alluded in his book, Handbuch der Archaolgie der Kunst, 1850, to “the great number of obscene representations . . . to which mythology gave frequent occasion.”
Scott Ashley informs that:
Up to several dozen buildings have been identified as likely houses of prostitution. Some, due to the explicit wall paintings and graffiti found in them, leave no doubt as to their purpose. Even in private homes, wall paintings and mosaics depict all kinds of sexual activity, and many common household objects such as lamps, dishes, vases and fountains have been found with sexual motifs. Recent excavations at one of Pompeii’s public baths indicate that one floor of the structure may have been a brothel.
Due to its pervasive immorality, prior to or shortly after the destruction of Pompeii, someone wrote “Sodom and Gomorrah” onto a wall near the cities central crossroads. The early church leader Tertullian defended Christians against the charge that their neglect of pagan worship resulted in pagan gods causing natural disasters, by indicating that no Christians lived in Pompeii when it was destroyed. Many Christians have since invoked the destruction of Pompeii as an example of God’s judgment against rampant immorality.
“However, the newspaper continued to mock, and on May 7th it published an interview with Professor M. Landes which read, ‘Mont Pelee presents no more danger to the inhabitants of St. Pierre than does Vesuvius to those of Naples.’ The Newspaper added, ‘We confess we cannot understand this panic. Where could one be better off than in St. Pierre?’”

Sodom and Gomorrah. Pompeii. St Pierre. Las Vegas.
Yesterday I got a ride from Challis, Idaho to Lolo, Montana with a guy named Brian. He was a Christian and we had some really good fellowship. Brian had just left California a few days before he picked me up. He said that the drought is really bad where he was at in central California. The Lord told Brian to leave California and go to Montana. I told Brian that the drought is only going to get worse in parts of the United States because too many people have turned their backs on God.
Then Brian told me of a dream he had a while back concerning the drought:
In his dream, Brian saw this combine in a corn field where half the field was mowed down. He walked up to this corn stock and looked inside the husk and it was empty. Then he saw these two men with long black hair and beards and they were pulling at their hair and crying out, “Africa, feed us!”
In the last scene of the dream, Brian saw this combine in Africa. The combine was then converted into a war machine. Brian then saw these African troops going to Asia.
In the first part of Brian’s dream, the drought could be literal where people are starving for physical food. Or else it could be a spiritual drought: people are hungry for the Word of God—Jesus Christ, the Bread from Heaven. Maybe the Lord will send more African Christians to the United States to preach to a people that are hungry for God.
“The lion does not turn around when the small dog barks.”

Back in 2004, I was hitchhiking and I ended up in Clarkson, Washington. I got a motel room and the Holy Ghost fell very heavy that night and into the next morning. I knew something was up—I was in that motel room for a reason. I turned on the TV early that morning and the film Minority Report was on some channel—I knew in my spirit that the Lord wanted me to watch that film.
I watched the film and thought it was very good. There were these three people—two men and one woman—who were called precogs (precognitive) and they had a gift of foreseeing the future. The woman precog was especially talented. In their dreams or visions they could predict a murder before it happened. Tom Cruise played a cop who worked with the precogs to prevent crimes, like murder, from happening.
Later in 2008, I was hitchhiking in Nebraska and I walked several miles to this place that had a motel and cafe. The Lord told me to get a motel room that night. That afternoon the film Minority Report was on TV and I watched it again. The Lord showed me that my dreams would come true—the dreams that the Lord gave me would come true. I thought of my very vivid dream of the Las Vegas Earthquake.
.
I think it is great how the Lord will use circumstances, people, films and other things to get our attention to show us things and teach us things in our walk with the Lord. Jesus Christ is Lord over our lives everyday.
I think that it is very interesting that in the film, John Anderton had his eyes surgically removed and then had to get new eyes for him to penetrate the PreCrime organization and get to the truth of Ann Lively’s and his son’s death. New eyes, new birth through baptism (he was hiding under water in the bath tub), new vision (prophetic vision with the help of the precog Agatha) and new life. And this is how John Anderton exposed and defeated Director Lamar Burgess and the Gates of Hell.
.
Matthew 16: 18: “and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
Minority Report, starring Tom Cruise, directed by Steven Spielberg. Precog. Ann Lively. Visions. Dreams come true. John Anderton. New eyes. A prophet’s eyes. Prevision. Las Vegas Earthquake.
Back in 2006, I had a very vivid dream about a Las Vegas earthquake. It is one of the most vivid dreams I have ever had. I believe an earthquake will hit Las Vegas in the future.
In the dream, I met Pope Benedict (the present pope). He said something to me, and then I rebuked him. Pope Benedict then walked away from me.
I have often wondered why the pope was in that dream. The earthquake happens just after I rebuked the pope. Could this mean that the earthquake happens before Pope Benedict resigns at the end of this month?
Or could it mean that, when the pope is walking away from me in the dream, he is resigning? Just after he resigns, then will the earthquake hit Las Vegas? We may soon find out.
Here is another thought on why Pope Benedict is in my dream. Las Vegas went from a small town in the late 1940s to a major city in a short time. Las Vegas grew because of the big casinos. Some of the casinos were owned by the Italian Mafia. Most Italians are Roman Catholic. Maybe the Italian Mafia gave a lot of money to the Roman Catholic Church. Maybe the Vatican City operations are funded in part by Italian Mafia money.
So in Roman-Catholic-Empire-speak: do all roads lead to Rome? Or do all roads lead to Las Vegas?
The Great Fire of London In That Apocalyptic Year, 1666 by Neil Hanson
Chapter 2, “The Hellish Design”:
Page 27: “Humphrey Smith’s Vision Which He Saw Concerning London, also written years before the event [1660], predicted a fire in 1666 ‘in the foundation of all her buildings and there was none could quench it . . . .The burning thereof was exceeding great . . . .All the tall buildings fell and it consumed all the lofty things therein . . . . And the fire continued, for though all the lofty part was brought down yet there was much old stuff and parts of broken down, desolate walls, which the fire continued burning against.’
“Daniel Baker also warned where the ‘evil ways’ of London would lead. ‘A fire, a consuming fire shall be kindled in the bowels of the earth, which will scorch with burning heat . . . .a great and large slaughter shall be throughout the land.’ And Walter Gostello ‘looked up to heaven and there saw such a cloud of blackness and dirt as could not possibly arise from any place but hell . . . .If fire make not ashes of the City, and thy bones also, conclude me a liar for ever . . . .Repent or burn, you and your city London.’”

London, which was the queen city of the land . . .and yet how is London departed like smoke and her glory laid in the dust. . . .How does the whole nation tremble at the sound of her fall. How is the pride of London stained and beauty spoiled, her arm broken and strength departed, her riches almost gone . . .since the firing and fall of this city which had the strength and treasure of the nation in it. The glory of London is now fled away like a bird, the trade of London is shattered and broken to pieces, her delights also are vanished and pleasant things laid to waste.”

Chapter XVI
“A Year in Scarborough Castle”
1665-1666
“The very next day after my release, the fire broke out in London [The Great Fire of London, 1666], and the report of it came quickly down into the country. Then I saw the Lord God was true and just in His Word, which he had shown me before in Lancaster jail, when I saw the angel of the Lord with a glittering sword drawn southward, as before expressed.
“The people of London were forewarned of this fire; yet few laid to heart, or believed it; but rather grew more wicked, and higher in pride. For a Friend was moved to come out of Huntingdonshire a little before the fire, to scatter his money, and turn his horse loose on the streets, to untie the knees of his trousers, let his stockings fall down, and to unbutton his doublet, and tell the people that so should they run up and down, scattering their money and their goods, half undressed, like mad people, as he was sign to them; and so they did, when the city was burning.
“Thus hath the Lord exercised His prophets and servants by His power, shown them signs of His judgments, and sent them to forewarn the people; but, instead of repenting, they have beaten and cruelly entreated some, and some they have imprisoned, both in the former power’s days and since.
“But the Lord is just, and happy are they that obey His word.”
Today I was hitchhiking north on U.S. 395 and was dropped off at Davis Creek, California. I got a hamburger and something to drink at the country store in Davis Creek. From Davis Creek I continued walking north.
It seemed like it was a slow day for getting rides. I walked a few miles and began to run out of water. It was very warm (around 86 degrees F) and the air was smoky from all of the wildfires in the northern California-eastern Oregon neighborhood. Last night, as I slept in my sheepherder’s camper at my friends’ place, the air seemed smokier than usual (the air has been smoky for most of the past month).
I stopped walking and began to wonder why it was taking me so long to get to Lakeview, Oregon. Then I realized that the Lord was delaying me for a reason (Jesus Christ is Lord over my hitchhiking).
I stood there on the side of the road for quite some time. Then this older lady in an old pickup pulled over to give me a ride.
She told me, as the conversation progressed, that she was born in England during the war (World War II); her dad was in the Air Force. They moved to California when she was one year old. She did most of the talking. It was difficult to understand her at times; she seemed slightly eccentric.
She was talking and then she started complaining about all of the smoke in the air and all of the wildfires. Then she exclaimed, “This is Sodom! This is Sodom!”
I replied, “Yeah, there is a lot of sin in this country.” (I mentioned the sins of abortion and homosexuality)
She told me that she was a believer. She also said that there were too many churches that didn’t believe there was a devil. She had a Bible on the dashboard of her pickup. She mentioned Proverbs 20:18, so I took her Bible and read that verse out loud (“Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.”)
She talked some more and then exclaimed again, “This is Sodom! This is Sodom!”
I again nodded in agreement. I don’t know how many times she said “This is Sodom!”, but I knew that she was repeating it for a reason. “In the mouth of two or three witnesses, let every word be established.” I knew that the Lord had her pick me up so that I could hear what she had to say.
Three or four times she reminded me to pass her message on to others. I told her that I would do that. She dropped me off near the county courthouse in Lakeview.
Out of the mouths of babes, sucklings and eccentric people, Thou has perfected praise. “The Lord uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.”
The Lord had that lady pick me up. She kept repeating, “This is Sodom!” What does this mean? Maybe the drought and wildfires are just the beginning of sorrows for the United States. Maybe more judgment is coming. This is a perverse generation.
Genesis 19: 24-28:
“Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD: And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.”
Ezekiel 14: 13: “Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it.”
Ezekiel 15: 7-8: “And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them. And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.”
.
Ezekiel 16: 20-21: “Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter, That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?”

“Omg!! I had a vision about Las Vegas EXACTLY like yours, except I was awake! I live in Vegas. Have my hole life. I was at a bus stop on Charleston and Pecos around 10 or 11pm. Wile I was standing there waiting for the bus, I noticed everything around me seamed to be fake. Like it wasn’t really there. I mean nothing looked different, but it just felt out of place. That’s when the night became day, (I think it was day), and I saw/herd the chaos unfold. It was horrible! Buildings falling, cars crashing, people screaming, and dying. I remember seeing the sky glowing red from fires that broke out, and all the smoke in the air. I was seeing/hearing all this, but no one could see me see. The thing I remember the most was the screaming! It felt like it went on for ever! I just wanted it to stop! When it was over. Only like a minute or 2 had passed by. I stood there in shock for awhile trying to compared what had just happened. When the bus came, I kept thinking about it, and the more it sunk in. When I got off the bus, I called my mother telling her what happened wile trying not to freak out to much, but when I told her about the death I saw and the horrible screaming of people. I broke down crying. completely confused on why I saw what I saw. My mother said she seen the same thing in a dream awhile ago, and that God was trying to prepare me for what was coming. I asked her why didn’t he show me in a dream? She said maybe you would have thought of it as just that, a dream. So I said next time God needs to show me something so horrific, he can so in my sleep. In a way that I know is no ordinary dream. That was my 1st vision. I now have had 5 total. 2 wile wide awake, and 3 wile I was asleep. My 1st one happened when I was 20. I’m 25 now.”
Genesis 18: 1-2: “And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground”
Genesis 18: 20-21: “And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.”

I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.”
Jeremiah 51: 20-24: “Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider; With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers. And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.”
Ezekiel 21: 1-5: “And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel, And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked. Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north: That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.”
Ezekiel 21: 8-11: “Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished: It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree. And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.”
Ezekiel 21: 14-15: “Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers. I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.”
Ezekiel 21: 27: “I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.”

Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity. And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy. Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.”
Acts 5: 1-11: “But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.”
