May God have mercy on us all.

Kisstheson, my question is a leading one but what was the reaction that would consequently be labled as "storms", "rebellions", etc?
My response would be some of those that reacted, were led in spirit that something was off. In the Old Testament there are record after record of reaactionaries. Samuel, Nathan, Elijah, Jeremiah, etc. In most cases if those in authority or kings for example did not have an ear to hear, the kings would want the reactionaries silenced. Of course in present time the same principle applies, but silence is sought via quarantines.
