Remains of the day

Until the end of the day… the day remains to be completed. Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel.

“1666: Judgment by Fire?

Knowing that the Bible describes 666 as the ominous Number of the Beast, many Christian Europeans entered the year 1666 with trepidation.

A prolonged plague that had wiped out much of London's populace in 1665 didn't help assuage fears, and when the Great Fire of London (pictured) occurred, many believed Judgment Day had come.

Some Londoners saw the fire as "dreadful judgment—God's wrath visited at last on a sinful Earth," according to the 2002 book The Great Fire of London: In That Apocalyptic Year, 1666.
