The Ultimate Army

Jehovah of Armies made a count one day of all His weapons keeping man at bay of non leathal weapons He gave the skunk his stink and a little less harmless the octopus' ink sometimes more is needed to get a point across a little pain and fear to impress a loss soon there will be no doubt about how they feel if just once they touch the electric eel always beware of little thing with wings some may bite and some may sting one final warning and one final note a very harsh warning is a bunt of a goat but for those who are less fearful and bent on adventure who challenges the snows and suns of nature to those that would climb Gods invisible wall shatter Gods ceiling ignore Gods calls for those who would face the ultimate threat the deadliest creatchers man has ever met Gods final judgement more or less escape from these creatures the ultimate conquest you've made it this far dont stop now how much more can you defy Gods laws you may escape the tigers claws be just missed by hungry jaws quick enough to avoid the cobras strike smart enough not to challenge the elephants might witty enough to escape the anaconda grip be very careful not to slip lucky enough to avoid all fangs with venomous and vicious names tempting not the bull to gore declairing never to stand behind a mule once more so far weve made it still living and breathing Jehovah of Armies protecting and scheming
