Sometimes people need to hear the bad news before they are ready for the good news.
But, having said that, if the good news is never told, then what is the point of spreading the bad?
But the good news is not that we do not have to face the Devil or Antichrist. It is that that those who trust and follow Jesus win in the end:
Revelation 12:11 NKJV
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
Revelation 12:11 NKJV

IMHO that passage refers to Tribulation Saints whom I hope to leave a trail of bread crumbs for
But the major credit WILL obviously go to the 3 Angels 👼👼👼 of Revelation chapter 14 AND the Lamb 🐑 that sends them of course
God bless 🙏🛐🙏✝️
General observations over time, not directed at you personally:
>>>Sometimes people need to hear the bad news before they are ready for the good news.<<<
That’s the “reasonable” justification that Team Demoralization uses to keep up the beatings until morale improves.
The victims don’t escape the reign of terror because they’ve been taught that they deserve it.
>>>But, having said that, if the good news is never told, then what is the point of spreading the bad?<<<
It’s like a battered woman receiving token positive feedback from her abuser, then being told how she can improve next time, and then she is so grateful for the advice, for the hand to help her up.
Of course soon enough, she’ll fail again by doing something completely insensitive like forgeting to tell the eagle-eyed thug that she left to go have lunch with a friend and...

The status quo is what it is. People will defend it til Kingdom Come.
Establishment Jesus is the Jesus that Jesus warned everyone about.
The Establishment has no use for Jesus, as the Gospels (good news books) attest. That’s because it would have to radically change its ways for good.
The Established order is too big to fail, until it does just that on some minor point, because that’s how it had cruelly judged and locked up its victims (and threw away the key) for any insignificant and innocent thing, in order to stay Established.
The Good News in all of this is that the world can turn on a dime!
USAID got cancelled. It’s a living parable.
