    In my opinion, people in positions of power try to make prophecies about themselves so they can make them come true. I believe this is driven by ego.

    It is also entirely possible that religious verses or prophecies may be part of a world building plan by churches and "prophets, seers, oracles" give subtle hints to the plan to give it the appearance of divine intervention or a "higher power" is somehow involved to get people on board. This method could theoretically keep a plan in action long after the planners are deceased.

      We barely got people to take the Covid vaccine, so I think a human-centric conspiracy is too generous to human nature, to say the least. The divine question remains compelling to me still. AI is just too phenomenal to not think something bigger is occurring.

        Well that's an entirely different topic. People made intelligent decisions to not put experimental gene therapy drugs into their system. Too many people know what if the government screws up there is no recourse and the government gave the drug companies full immunity which was a major red flag to many. The vaccine injury rates have proven to be very high. I for one am glad I skipped all of that. Most of HN is fully on board with that hot mess and others outside of this bubble are noticing. I do not even participate in the blue in the face arguments for or against it.

    I think it's fulfilling the Bahai global unity prophecy, but in a monkeys paw sort of way.
