Dirty Bombs

"Today we saw coordinated terrorist attacks on 15 major metropolitan areas of our great country. 
  Large bombs like the one used in Oklahoma City in 1995 were detonated, along with radioactive
  material.   I want to reassure the American people today that the full forces of the United States
  government are on high alert, working with local first responders, assisting the thousands of
  Americans who are injured, trapped, or dead.   We will update you further as the days and
  weeks progress.  God bless."

Warnings from a terror group were posted on a website days in advance,
With eerie confidence and patience they felt they had the upper hand--
Terror cells that lived and worked amongst unknowing Americans reacted:
And on the appointed day at the appointed hour their evil plan was enacted--

15 Cities were attacked with large dirty bombs that day and thousands died:
Radiation spread death and disease like a black clouds across the sky--
People panicked and terror reigned with flashbacks to September 11th...
America had forgotten what it was like in 2001--it was time to repent--

Almost immediately, churches are overflowing with people from everywhere:
Americans united in prayer, thanksgiving and praise to Jesus our Savior...
Thousands lined up to be baptized in water in the wonderful Name of Jesus--
They're there seeking Jesus, because Jesus is the one who never leaves us--

Comfort, faith, hope, love all flow like precious gifts from the Father above...
During this time of the horrible evil intentions and actions of men:

In God we still trust.

A dirty bomb is...

A dirty bomb is an improvised nuclear device, created from radioactive nuclear waste material and conventional explosives. When a dirty bomb is detonated the explosion carries the nuclear waste material into the atmosphere where it is subject to dispersal by wind and rain. The aim of the dirty bomb is to cause wide-spread contamination of the target area. If detonated in a city a well designed dirty bomb could cause panic, radiation-related illnesses (both long-term and short-term) and possibly the the abandonment or demolition of highly contaminated areas.

Acts 2

[38] Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
[39] For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
