Cry peace where there is no peace.

            Terror is error. It is a fire that burns wildly; once it is set no one
          person can control it. A saviour was needed to give the people
          hope: more blood for the scacrificial alter. 
          Jehu was their hero. The people flocked to him. The city was
          overwhelmed. The roads were blocked and lined with soldiers.
            "Now is the time to take action." Jehu proclaimed; "Make
          straight the way for God and we will live in Paradice!" Thousands
          cheered Jehu. "There can be no peace, no love, no joy without
          God!" The soldiers struggled to keep the cheering crowd back.
          "Behold! I have had a vision of purification through fire." Jehu
          fired his gun into the air. The soldiers about him fired their rifles
          into the air. A hush can over the on lookers.
            Mobile ICBMs roled up the road. "We shall set our enemies
          on fire and God will take us to Paradice!" Jehu raised his left
          arm and the missile launchers rose. "From this battle all battles
          will be decided!" he turned and pointed, "To Israel I send my
          challenge!" Thunder broke in the distance and then an owl flew
          over Jehu. A voice spoke from the thunder;
                                  "Faciunt solitudinem et pacem vocant."
            Jehu fell dead.
