You are not foolish. You are prescient. I have lost track of how many books of history I have read. I have studied the Bible for over 30 years. I have the same feeling deep in my gut. Not just because of politics. Something bad is coming. Call me a whiny Jeremiah,but something is close. Wordsworth wrote words to the effect that “The center will not hold, things fall apart,and what rough Beast slouches toward Bethlehem to be born.” (from memory,forgive my sloppy quote.) A more contemporary poet(?) put it this way: “I see a bad moon arisen’ I see trouble on the way.” It’s coming.
I've had the feeling,too, since last November. Just in small events. Things have been happening so fast, that there hasn't really been a chance to prepare. Even if given time, how does one prepare for such shell-shocking events?
"Blessed Lightning" hasn't helped the disquiet, if anything he has exacerbated it with his multiple, meaningless pronouncements.
