Who is "we?"
Many of us do expect great chastisements and war. Any moment now. Literally.
Dr, your post reflects similar feelings on my part. I do, everyday, wonder if “this will be the day” His hand falls. All this talk about a “deluge of fire” inspired me to start praying to Our Lady under the patronage of Our Lady of Prompt Succor” which is prayer for protection against calamities including fire. The good thing about prophecies such as these is that it keeps us from being complacent which I sometimes fall into.
