"but for those that are ready, it is exciting..."
Right!
But, what am I supposed to do with all that excitement if the majority of the world thinks I'm NUTZ, and blames people like me for hindering "social progress"? From my perspective, 90% of the planet has rejected common sense!

Using threats tends to turn people away.

Biblical prophecy is always 100% correct. The Bible isn't a threat... it's a promise.

JAPOV, Jesus said that we will be hated for His namesake, that is happening world wide and it is starting to happen even in North America, just another sign of the times.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
John 14 NIV

15)“If you love me, keep my commands. 16)And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17)the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18)I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19)Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20)On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21)Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

I know my Spirit is in the right place... but my flesh isn't happy about it, not happy at all!

It's no wonder why the world hates prophecy, especially TV personalities who focus on "Biblical" prophecy. The Spirit of Truth tends to shame Hollywood's "post-apocalyptic" creative license wink
