It’s all been coming together behind the scenes for years and those with eyes can see it while the others are too busy saying ‘no’. However, fear does cause one to deny - with a ‘be quiet’ ‘make it go away’ mindset.
Plus God did say that men would be greatly deceived as the time approaches....we see this now and increasingly so. Further that that deception would be sent by God...I don’t think people realize that there will come a time where the opportunity to escape that which is ahead will be too late...and they will accept ‘the lie’.
