Realistically, what is it going to take?
Do I need to run for office, claim I'm going to launch all of our nukes at all of our cities/rural areas like an absolute moron, be the equivalent of a person giving a speach/DJ remix, just so once I'm elected for being an absolute dumbfuck, I can finally pass a godamn healthcare and wage bill?
Is this where we are at? Is this what good has to look like now?
I mean 2 Thessalonians 2 talks about this in the end times. Its prophetic.
Only if you know nothing about modern history and how many times this sentiment has been "prophetic" about other situations and people...
Do you know what "cold reading" is?
I read into this verse so I thought I'd share my findings:
Seems like what this section of Thessalonians is talking about is: at the end times it's going to look like the bad guys are winning, but this will be an illusion. Any officially licensed Jesus™ will be accompanied by a rapture, so don't listen to anyone claiming to be Jesus™. God is just going to be deceiving the wicked to keep them busy, so they don't suspect anything, and then as soon as someone falsey claims to be Jesus™ (fucks around), whamo, ratpure time, and God's going to send back his authentic hitter Jesus to talk them to death (finds out).
