The Siege
"Why
do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings
of the earth set themselves, and the
rulers
take counsel together against the Lord and against His Annointed..."

Branch Davidians would someday face in apocalyptic warfare.

The Final Day
On April 19, 1993, government tanks broke through the walls of the Ranch
and injected tear gas. Suddenly fires broke out throughout the building
complex and soon became out of control. Koresh and about 75 of his
followers perished in the flames, among them 21 children. Only eight
people survived. It is not certain if it was the government agents
or the Branch Davidians who ignited the deadly flames, but whatever the
case, the prophecies of David Koresh were fulfilled for those who passed
away.
