For it is writen that in the end times thre shall be called home heroes.
The call will be heard as of many voices crying in the desert.  Neither
shall they be stopped by wind, rain, sleet or snow.  Nor shall they be
delayed by the siren voices of the flesh, nor of the belly, nor any
televisual entertainment or other unclean thing. Woe be unto those who
stand in their way, for they shall be cursed unto the third generation.
A plague shall also be visited upon those who by word, deed or contract
shall hold them in thrall, particularly on trains for there will be a
great wailing and a gnashing of teeth.

And when they return, the fatted calf will be slain and a rejoicing will
be heard throughout the land.  Apportionment will also be made for those
that will not partake of the lamb nor the cow, nor of any cloven hooved
beast, and who will eat only lentils and other brown things, for such
strangenesses are also signs of the end times.
