His next case begins; Vs. Checker Chariot (A paper Jesus has says "My Accident" on it.). Bart wakes Homer up before the case can proceed. Bart: King Bart vs. II

Bart (as King ) has killed Goliath, but his oldest friend (Abe Simpson) is killed by Goliath II (Nelson). David tries to kill him, mistaking him for Sampson and chopping off his hair, before being thrown by a slingshotted away into the mountains. David tells Shepherd of his plight: Ralph tries to kill Goliath II but dies trying. David sneaks into Goliath II's tower, which is blown up in the ensuing battle. Goliath II emerges from the flames, ready to strike, when Ralph suddenly appears and kills him with his own tombstone. David is then thrown in jail for regicide, since the people agree that Goliath II was a better king than he ever was. End Sequence: The Apocalypse

The Simpsons wake up. Marge is ashamed that they fell asleep in church, to which Homer answers "It's not the end of the world." As they walk outside, they discover that the Apocalypse/Rapture is upon them. The Flanders go to Heaven (because of them being extremely devout and going to church a lot) while the Simpsons go to (because of them not having Christian beliefs although they go to church.) Lisa is the only one going up to Heaven, but Homer pulls her down. A stairway opens to Hell, and they enter. Homer is heard screaming, because there are no hot dogs, and there is pineapple in a potato salad.

I just think the brevity required by the inclusion of three separate tales better suits the world of horror spoofs than it does these Bible pieces, as they try to pack an awful lot into very little time. Some good moments result anyway, but I don’t find a lot of entertainment" Legacy The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma, revealed a new exhibit which galleried Biblical images in art and pop culture, including a promotional poster for "Simpsons Bible Stories."
