..I'm not sure if I'm totally happy with how this came out but I think I got the general idea across.

wow, not many would dare venture into the darker events in Biblical times save those who create work pertaining to the book of Revelation which unfortunately has been "abused" by the secular world and made trendy in some ways (just look at all the doomsday movies out there that both believers and non-believers flock to see) which is ironic but terribly grim/sad- if they only knew..... *sigh* I read one comment today on a piece that really sparked some controversy and one agnostic/atheist? said that Revelation was the only book in the Bible that they liked, the endtimes have a certain appeal to the secular world as well- I wish I had words, I can't help but feel sorrow in a way when I started to see this. I suppose that is what God would prefer over anger but who am I to say how HE would feel? There will be no mistaking the second coming and it won't be anything like Hollywood has portrayed it to be.

anyway- sorry for the tangent. This is a wonderful illustration. Powerfully done and "simplified" into a poster style which really drives the concept home.
