Man Finds Single Ominous Bible Page in Tennessee Wildfire
Aftermath
Wildfires in Tennessee have temporarily
displaced thousands of people fleeing from the destruction. Over 100
homes have been destroyed, as well as hotels and businesses. Thus
far, seven people have been confirmed killed, and over 15,000 acres of land has been damaged. The smoke from the fires spread
across state-lines and could be detected in neighboring states, even
as far as southern Ohio.
Those who escaped the wildfires have
described it as "like driving into hell." (Check out the
video below)
Two of the cities affected by the
wildfires are the tourist hot spots Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, the
latter of which has the famous Dollywood theme park. It is here, at
Dollywood, where Isaac McCord found a burnt page of the Bible while
cleaning up after wildfires passed through the area.
The single page from the Bible is the
beginning of the book of Joel, with only a few verses legible:
"Alas for the day! for the day of
the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it
come." (Joel 1:15 KJV)
"O LORD, to thee will I cry: for
the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame
hath burned all the trees of the field. The beasts of the field cry
also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire
hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness." (Joel 1:19-20
KJV)
Given the circumstances of the
wildfires, this scripture is eerie and ominous.
