Ashamed that the whole world would now know their personal sins, everyone rushed home hoping to wash away the blemishes. However, no amount of soap or water, of rubbing or scrubbing, would remove the telltale stains of their sins! Peoples' frustration rapidly changed to fear as the thunder began. Low and distant was the rumble, but it soon reached an ear-shattering pitch. From east to west, from north to south, the thunder rolled back and forth across the earth. Once again, everyone hurried outside -- but this time it was in panic and dread.
The splendorous rainbow still stood arched across the cloudless sky -- but now, in technicolor letters, it spelled out another message: "The world will end in seven days. Only the stainless shall see God." As factory whistles and church bells announced the hour of high noon, a dark shadow slid across a corner of the sun. Within seconds the eclipse was total, and the entire earth was enveloped in a doomsday darkness. It was obvious to all that the eclipse was unnatural and a prophetic forecast of what would happen in seven short days. As the shadow moved away from the face of the sun and the total darkness began to lift, people hoped, for a brief moment, that the return of light might reveal that their stains had disappeared. The return of the sun, however, only disclosed that their faces were still tattooed with the stains of their sins.
