All Hail the Power

I am part of a "small group" of guys who are studying the End-Times. One of the gents is an engineer, meaning he is good with numbers, thinks analytically, and is a lot smarter than most everyone.

While looking at the hailstorm in Revelation, he calculated (actual math, not the guesstimate that most of us default to) that the hail is about 18 inches ... the size of a beach ball, or twice the diameter of a basketball. Did I mention that it is solid ice? And that things--people--are getting hit with it?

Oh yeah, and it is traveling 200 miles an hour (322 kilometers an hour). We don't even drive that fast. Legally. That's gonna leave a mark.

Maggie,

Well, the verse is Revelation 16:21 ... and yes--raining cats and dogs ... in the form of 100 pound ice chunks.
