"Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall seperate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake." LK6:22 "Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their(jews) fathers to the false prophets." LK6:26 " And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselfs before men;but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God, Lk 16:15 Jesus accurately predicted that men would be "lovers of themselves".

Keep in mind the teaching of if you do your good works before men, you will have the reward of men, but if you do your deeds in secret, God will reward you openly.
If you have the praise of men, you have your reward. Be humble and do your good things quietly, without praise and pomp. Do them for the reason of service to your King. It is better to please and serve God, rather than men!
Only God's value of YOU is what counts. Men are nothing. Compliments are like money, they grow wings and fly alway when the tide turns. Praise may be for you, or NOT. Offend the right person and watch your praise go out the window.

The Lord's name is Jesus. And my bible has God's name ALL OVER IT! Jehovah - 'A mispronunciation [introduced by Christian theologians but almost entirely disregarded b the Jews]of the Hebrew YHWH the [ineffable] name of God..this pronunciation is grammatically impossible it arose through pronouncing the vowels of 'Adonay' with the consonants of 'YHWH'...Jehovah is generally held to have been the invention of Pope Leo X's confessor Peter Galatin [The Jewish Encyclopaedia Vol7 p87-88] Isaiah 10v21 speaks of Mighty God - is that speaking of Jehovah then or Jesus? Thanks. Please note the WHOLE of the quote at Isaiah 9v6 - He will be called.....everlasting Father. Not only is Jesus Mighty God but everlasting Father also! Unless Jesus is God what does this scripture mean? But please only RELY ON A BIBLE WITH GOD'S NAME IN IT TO ANSWER - no WT or Awake publications. Rev 22v18 - Jesus calls himself the Alpha and Omega, the First and the the Last, the Beginning and the End'. So tell me are there TWO Alpha and Omegas then? :)

There are no prophecies in the bible.
If you think modern times are unique regarding human behaviors, you really need to study history a bit more.
Narcissism and egotism were well established long before the Jesus myth was invented.
As were wars and rumors of war.
The bible is a book of mythology.

I doubt any one human is more well known than the perceived divinities.
