Well, hello, welcome back to the Prophecy Prose podcast. This season, we've been really talking about the

emotions of prophecy, the felt needs, what people are feeling as they look at the conditions of the

world and as they try to figure out scripture and wrestle with the realities of Bible prophecy

in eschatology and what scripture says, you know, taking up, look at some of the hard sayings

of the Bible, things that typically people want to gloss over, but God wants us to learn these

things. Otherwise, he wouldn't put them in scripture. But today we're talking about a biggie,

and it's probably one of the heavier emotions that we're going to tackle this season. And it's

sad because he didn't believe it. Or people that we know who have wayward children or, you know,

as we continue to ramp up towards Revelation, Todd, then people are looking at their family going,

you know, I'm ready, but they're not ready. And what happens to them,

you know, if they, if they are left behind, and that obviously produces a lot of sadness in
