You will probably need medical care before that (lower than 94%) but it would depend on the person.
Yeah, also different if you're a smoker, or have existing lung issues.
Assuming I survive, I expect to lose three people out of this:
- my stepfather, (morbidly-obese)
- my brother-in-law, (heart issues)
- my friend Bill, (emphysema)
These three were the most resistant to my warnings. It's odd, they're all very aware of how incompetent the government is in the simplest issues, but somehow think when it comes to matter of health, they'll suddenly be competent. And this is just after living through the bushfire season, and me telling Bill that the women whom shuffle around uselessly pushing paper at Centrelink and can't get the computer to retrieve the info they need are no different in the Health System.
I love my Stepfather, but when he showed up yesterday, despite my warnings, he complained about their being no sugar at the supermarket. "Really?" he paused. "Really?" Then he virtue signalled about people being racist towards Asians.
A while back, when I was shown the realization that people cast themselves into hell when they finally understand how God is, and how far they are from him, and see him as the Stern Judge waiting to punish instead of the Merciful Father waiting to love. So, rather than the gradual little shocks of Him showing you who you really are after the First Conversion, it happens all at once. (It's been a humiliating couple of years, which is good, because I'm no longer under any delusion that 'I'm a good person'. Which is great - I know I need God).
I then thought about the people I love who are very far from God, despite my sacrifices and sufferings for them, but I trust in his mercy. Then I did ask him that I die before all of them, so I can be there at their final judgement, to help them suffer through that brutal shock, to challenge the voice of the demons condemning them - after being delivered I have nothing but contempt for their manipulation - and to speak of the truth of his mercy. Yeah, God doesn't need me, no more than he needs St Therese to 'rain down roses from heaven' but it couldn't hurt to spend my heaven serving those in deep pain who come after me, for St Catherine of Sienna was shown by God that everyone - even those in mortal sin - is given a final chance to choose him. Meaning, if I do die before them, he's answered my request. As such, I accept whatever comes.
This might sound like presumption, but God doesn't grace you with unachieveable desires, and, who better to have mercy for the Sinner than one who has so greatly sinned as to serve a demon and sees the manipulation of wounds involved. We're all victims. Instead of assuming someone is damned, reach out in love, and forgive any negative responses, because you can't predict how one little act of love might impact them, years down the road.
There was a video a while back of a drag queen saying he wanted to march up God and ask him why "He made him like this". Instead of mocking him, I wish someone had shown him compassion and explained to him that God didn't. That God love him, and that God was capable of showing him the lies that have led him to where he is, if he would let Him do it.
I'm serious about this being the Passion of the Boomers. Forgive them, and show them compassion and care. They're going to need it. Not because you will be forgiven and rewarded, but because you become the Imitation of Christ.
I'll update each morning until this passes. If I vanish, I'm in hospital.
