There are far better and more compelling reasons to believe in God and in Jesus Christ than the obscurities of supposed prophecies. Indeed, prophecies facilitated by psychoactive substances were a stock in trade for oracles and priests in the ancient world — and was promoted as a reason to believe in one or another of their pagan gods. I am hard put to think of most claims of prophecy for our future as usually little more than a shabby trick meant to con the gullible.

Well, to each his own, I suppose.

I certainly wouldn’t be able to convince everyone.

That being said, it appears that most in government, in America and around the world don’t take it too seriously either.

Thanks for bumping the thread, though.

Jesus’ first coming was prophesied as well.

Are you going to dismiss that, too?
