peter gives the key. we are like grasshoppers, both in stature and lifespan.
2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
people are egocentric.
i dont know what people were thinking in the past but they are told today what the bible means and then manipulate things to fabricate the accuracy of their interpretation. iow, prophecy is deliberately fulfilled according to the way people want it go. its all fake. jesus has nothing to do with countries, rulers, the world system or the religious system. all of that is in deception already. and rainy worries about people being deceived. lol way too late for that.
