OT: Apocalyptic Quotes

Hey folks. I'm starting work on a new story while I beat my head against the towering colosus that is my Hell is for Heroes writer's block. The stuff I've got floating about in my head is sounding pretty damn good.
Basic premise: End of the world! Except I'm doing it properly, unlike those 'disaster movie' hacks. That's right baby, I'm getting it done, Biblical style! Well, no, actually a lot of what goes on would probably be a wee bit offensive to those of a 'serious' religous slant, angels shagging demons (tastefully!) and whatnot. Although if you can see the humourous side of it, that it's just a bit of fun, written by an unrecoverable heathen who'll spend eternity burning in Hell, then you might enjoy it.

I just need three things to get me going.

1) An assortment of apocalyptic quotes. Mainly just for flavour, each chapter is to start with one, so we can keep a running list going. Tried searching for them on Google (I will NOT say 'Googled') and that just brought up wierd stuff. So far I've got three, albeit from one crazy-*** website.

Quote:

I am become Death, destroyer of worlds.

Quote:

When the sky is rent asunder, when the stars scatter and the oceans roll together, when the graves are hurled about, each soul shall know what it has done and what it has failed to do.

Quote:

I looked, and there was a white horse! Its rider had a bow...and he came out conquering and to conquer. When he opened the second seal...out came another horse, bright red; it's rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another...I looked, and there was a black horse! It's rider held a pair of scales in his hand...When he opened the fourth seal...I looked and there was a pale green horse! Its rider's name was Death.

Second, I need a wee bit of background as to how exactly the end of the world is to take place according to the Bible, since I want that part to be reasonably accurate (it's what comes after that's getting me sent to Hell). But I confess a certain overwhelming weariness comes over me whenever my thoughts stray to actually picking up the Good Book. That, and whenever I do, I come out in a rash.

Thirdly, I need somewhere to put the dang thing so people can see it. While I've managed to keep Hell is for Heroes to a PG version with a bit of carefull editing, there's just no way I'm going to pull it off with this one. Unless the moderators think I could put it up here with a disclaimer to the effect that it's entirely a work of fiction, does not reflect the views of Shrapnel Games & is not intented to in any way offend any person of any religious inclination, and if you are offended by anything you read, stop reading immediately, go pray for my immortal soul and everything will be ok.
