Prophets Are Born To Be Heard

A prophet is no longer recognized, in his or her own time. So many ring the warning bell; it’s unheard by preoccupied ears. Prophecies fulfilled are too late to control; doom cannot be reversed!

A prophecy unheeded is a warning silenced, it needs to be heard, especially in these times-

Definitely, too many shouts go unheeded. Thanks Michelle.

So true! Prophets' voices are not heeded anymore. There's a great book I read recently titled 'The Cassandra Effect,' which has an especially revealing chapter about the man who did his best to warn Japan of the dangers of the Fukoshimi nuclear reactor, all to no avail...I think you'd enjoy reading it. Well-done! :) gw

I've heard about that but, not read it yet. If only people would listen. Thanks.
