✦ MADE SIMPLE

Even the best people around are like thorny bushes — and the most 'righteous' ones? They're sharper than a hedge full of thorns. The day your prophets warned about is here, the day God shows up to deal with everything. Now everyone's about to be completely lost and confused.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

When even the 'good' people are toxic, you know judgment day is coming and nobody's ready for it.
