Yes, my brethren, the temple of the Lord has been profaned, and it will be razed to the ground.

It has been the scene of abomination and impiety, and must be purified by fire.

Theft, murder, sacrilege, and every other crime have been committed within its walls, and its destruction will follow.

The ministers of Heaven's vengeance are even now hovering above it.

Repent, therefore, ye who listen to me, and repent speedily; for sudden death, plague, fire, and famine, are at hand.
