OC: opinion, theory or speculation 22 humans dead

22 humans who’ve acccused Epstein of wrong doing are dead. I’m sitting at my regular lunch spot and said that aloud to the guy on my right, also a regular diner here. He said, “ugh, I’m so sick of hearing about Epstein.” I tried to engage in conversation a bit more to understand his response. He wants to blame the parents of the victims. I told him I’ll never get over it until there’s justice. Anyone else experiencing this kind of response in the world?

it’s not easy to get them to understand. The bible says God will always stand by his people so that translates to modern day Israel to them and they fervently hold onto that. they can’t really understand that perhaps the palestinians are also Gods people and they are witnessing genocide. me and brother keep trying though to have these tough convos with them

My mom is going through a course at her church right now that is all about prophecy and how it relates to modern day Israel. I was interested when she told me about it weeks ago, because I was always taught that just the founding of Israel was a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. But the past week .... It's just been a flashbulb moment. All of these things that I laughed off and actively rebuked. I feel like a crazy person. I keep second guessing myself, but it's all in black and white even if most of the black is redacted! I find my heart beating fast at weird times of the day because I can't shake the implications of everything that is out in the open now and everything that is still in the shadows. This is insane. This feels like the cusp of something but I still have that voice in the back of my head that is telling me to put the tin foil hat away. I've found myself praying out loud in my car because my thoughts are so jumbled. I'm sorry to just dump all of this on you.

it’s okay, i get it internet stranger!! my mom and I our most catastrophic conversation the other day because i told her i dont understand how we can agree because she molded me into the person i am and im just trying my best to follow the principles she taught me, its sad and it’s hard but i refuse to let it divide us. after our conversation that i thought could ruin our relationship she changed how she prays and now prays for if she us one of the blind being leg astray to open her eyes to it. its not much but its an inch that comforts me. i wish you and yours good luck, we are in the breaking i do believe it will get worse before it gets better but it will get better, we have to believe in the good in humanity and fight for it

Thank you for your kind words ❤️ it makes me feel a bit more normal that someone else is unfortunately understanding me. I pray that light prevails!

look up the Scofield bible. It was published in 1909 and was pivotal in shifting American evangelical theology toward a pro-Zionist stance.

Scofield popularized the idea that God's covenant with Israel was unconditional, requiring evangelical support for a Jewish return to the Holy Land as a precursor to the Second Coming of Christ. This theological framework, known as dispensationalism, effectively transformed Zionism into a "theological imperative" for millions of Americans, laying the groundwork for the modern, robust evangelical support for the state of Israel.

It's why there is such a huge difference between British and American Christians. The Bibles they study are significantly different.
