ABSOLUTELY INDEED.

In my experience and observation . . . those with hearts and eyes to see and ears to hear--are well aware and preparing and praying.

The following are typically varying degrees of blind and often very angry and hostile toward anyone who tries to wake them up with the truth. It's kind of like DENIAL with an alcoholic--a virtually sure sign of alcoholism. With the following sorts of people, their strong negative reaction to the truth is almost a sure sign of their willful blindness:

--Those without an adequate intimacy with Jesus.

--the terminally arrogant
--the Pharisees
--the self-righteous
--the smug in their own wisdom
--the self-sufficient

--those with an insecurity based desperate need to be right, to win at all costs, regardless

--the struttingly vain glorious
--the intellectual snoots
--the knowledge-is-god types
--the terminal deniers of reality
--the status-quo; comfort-is-god types
--the USA-is-god types
--the self-is-god types

--those addicted to living in a fantasy world with an image of God of their own making

--the terminally wishful thinkers

--those whose reality is based on the Main Stream Media propagandizers and deception units of the Marxist globalists

--those who were ignorantly and poorly taught the Bible--usually from an early age--and who have clung thoughtlessly and uncritically to what they were taught. Some have merely so clung as though to a life raft in a hurricane--woefully & foolishly failing to realize that the life raft is thoroughly inadequate.

--those addicted to their habitual ruts with a slavish mentality.

--Those terrified of &/or allergic to &/or past bloodied by change and who are often deluded that pretending the status quo will always be-can prevent change.

--The stubbornly contrary mentalities whose main thrill in life is to be gritchily contrary and crossways with whatever someone else is asserting.

--Those with an inadequate reverential awe/fear of God Almighty.

--Those so terrified of suffering that they must live in denial in order to sleep at night.

--Those living in la-la land.

--Those who think Alice’s rabbit hole is the best reality.

--Those who’ve defined the supernatural out of the Bible and out of their walk or fantasized walk with God Almighty.

--Those who’ve lived a life of lies so extensively and so long, that the truth is like a painfully piercing laser on their darkened hearts.

--Those who wouldn’t recognize THE TRUTH if it came up and kissed them on the lips.

--Those who are convinced they have it all figured out--usually without much thoughtful, prayerful 'figuring' at all.

--the terminally stupid, clueless, witless idiots--who are usually convinced that THEY are smarter than everyone else.
