It's a warning for what's to come, nothing more and the only end is what has already been written. The circumstances for the ancient prophecy were already pre-ordained and determined at its birth, its destiny sealed and immutable. It will occur and you can't stop it like you can't stop the rain from falling and the seasons from changing. Most people don't spot the warning signs or choose instead to ignore them, treating it as a puzzling and sometimes humorous coincidence yet unaware of its true meaning. Some never give it much thought at all and just turn their back on it while others sense there's something wrong almost like it's on the threshold of their awareness but can't quite identify what it is exactly and dismiss the feelings. But still it comes incessant and unceasing. It doesn't differentiate by creed or colour, gender or race and it doesn't care for you age, social standing, wealth or life's ambitions because it has a fulfilment to make and any choices you make will still lead you to the same end. You can't beg to it or coerce it because it carries no emotions and you cannot fight or run away from it because it is everywhere and anywhere, an omnipresent presence that will not remain quiet. The signs have been there all along and the evidence is virtually everywhere if you know where to look and slowly but surely the veil is being lifted the nearer it comes.
.....And the time is now.
