5th centuryChurch Father

God declares that you have transformed the city into a desolation, inundated with countless lifeless bodies; as a result, your aspirations will not come to fruition, nor will your life conclude in peace. Instead, you will soon fall into the hands of the enemies you dread, becoming a target for their weaponry.
