Book of Revelation Chapter 8 | God Gets High, Chernobyl Happens

God rips a cone, an angel weaponises a bong, and somehow this ends with a conspiracy theory about Chernobyl. The Book of Revelation chapter 8 kicks off with thirty minutes of ominous silence in heaven, which is unusual because heaven normally sounds like a sensory nightmare designed by a committee of screaming worship addicts. Then someone hands YHWH a giant "incense burner", seven angels break out the trumpets, and the apocalypse starts deleting the planet one-third at a time. But then Revelations drops its weirdest twist yet: a poisoned star called Wormwood crashes into Earth's water supply.  Which becomes considerably weirder when conspiracy theorists notice that Chernobyl is linked to the very same plant and immediately start pointing at Revelation like Charlie from It's Always Sunny with a corkboard. Coincidence?Prophecy?Ancient apocalypse fan fiction accidentally scoring a lucky hit?Join Judas, Lexi, Satan, John of Patmos and a deeply disappointed saxophone angel as our verse-by-verse comedy autopsy of Revelation continues. Expect sketch comedy, original music, religious satire, skepticism, apocalypse nonsense, and yet another chapter proving that the final book of the Bible reads less like divine prophecy and more like a fever dream written after a very aggressive edible.🔥 The Third Trumpet Has Sounded.
