Seriously? Look for them to announce that Jesus was merely a metaphor.
I’m not kidding.
You are probably not far off. Probably not at all.
For your post 13, I’m going to add ‘Revelation’ as in Revelation 13.
Hang in there, FRiend.
One of my closest friends flunked out of college - where he’d gone to be a minister - because he was being taught that everything Jesus said was a parable and not true.
In modern times, a major minister for that church has come out with the belief that Jesus did not rise from the dead or some such. Unreal.
Get real. The stories of Sod n’ Gom and Noah are just allegories. Allegories for what?
Just hate speech is all. /sarc
If you’re at all interested in Catholic prophecy, may I suggest the Hollywood movie, “The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima.”(1952)
It’s a movie, so it takes some liberties with an event which occurred in 1917 in Portugal during WW I. A public miracle associated with it was reported in major newspapers, including the New York Times.
The movie does portray the Miracle, which, as I said, was a public event witnessed by all in about a 20 mile radius of Fatima. This included skeptical and unbelieving reporters, who were there because the miracle was predicted in advance.
This does NOT prophesy the major Apocalypse of the end of time.
More recently, Pope Benedict beatified an Italian nun who died in 1961 who had prophecies of a chastisement to come soon. The story is here:

Some of the quotes from the Blessed Virgin Mary gave to this Italian, Sister Aiello:
“People are offending God too much. Were I to show you all the sins committed on a single day, you would surely die of grief. These are grave times.
The world is thoroughly upset because it is in a worse condition than at the time of the deluge. Materialism marches on ever fomenting bloody strifes and fratricidal struggles.
Clear signs portend that peace is in danger. That scourge, like the shadow of a dark cloud, is now moving across mankind:
Only my power, as Mother of God, is preventing the outbreak of the storm. All is hanging on a slender thread. When that thread shall snap, Divine Justice shall pounce upon the world and execute its dreadful, purging designs. All the nations shall be punished because sins, like a muddy river, are now covering all the earth.
‘CLOUDS WITH LIGHTNING FLASHES OF FIRE IN THE SKY AND A TEMPEST OF FIRE SHALL FALL UPON THE WORLD. THIS TERRIBLE SCOURGE, NEVER BEFORE SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY, WILL LAST SEVENTY HOURS. GODLESS PERSONS WILL BE CRUSHED AND WIPED OUT. MANY WILL BE LOST BECAUSE THEY REMAIN IN THEIR OBSTINACY OF SIN. THEN SHALL BE SEEN THE POWER OF LIGHT OVER THE POWER OF DARKNESS’. ‘Be not silent, my daughter, because the hours of darkness, of abandonment, are near.
Father Albert Hebert also wrote a book, “The Three Days of Darkness”, that includes prophecies from various saints over the centuries that allude to our time.
Finally I’ll leave you with the prophecy of Sister Jeanne le Royer (d. 1798):
Woe ! Woe ! Woe to the last century !
Here is what God wanted to show me in his Light. I began looking in the light of God, the century which must begin in 1800; I saw by this light that judgment wasn’t there, and that it wouldn’t be the last century. I considered, thanks to the same light, the century of 1900, until the end, to see positively if it would be the last. Our Lord made me know, and at the same time made me doubt, if it would be at the end of the century of 1900, or in that of 2000. But what I saw, it is that if the judgment arrived in the century of 1900, it would come only towards the end, and that if the world exceeds this century, the first two decades of the century of 2000 will not pass without the judgment intervening, as I saw it in the light of God.”
For what it may be worth to you ... and if you’re not Catholic, it may not be worth much at all; I understand.
Perhaps many might agree on this at least, that because of the long-running scourge of abortion and the more recent and ever-growing insanity of homosexual marriage, SOMETHING has got to give, and soon.
I’m not kidding.
They declared Adam and Eve to be "metaphors" a long time ago. Would this be any different?
