Your allusion to an NDE piqued my curiosity. Care to thread up and elaborate, or is that asking way too much?
There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-- having a form of godliness but denying its power.

How many of the 6 billion would represent the above quote?

Personally , I have never read a prophesy that has come true . The words in the opening post can apply to any time in our history.
The ironic thing is , one day it will come true

That's a good question, and we in the West tend to think that we (and what we do) are all that really matters. Does the average person in, say, the Sudan fit that? Or the Ukraine? Or Mongolia? Honestly, though I doubt it, I have no real basis for that doubt.

Have nothing to do with them.
About 10 years ago I wiped all the dishonest people from my life.. which left me two real friends.
Four years ago I became so saddened by the vast majority of people that I chose to hermit most of the time instead of having to feel, see and interact with the dense cloud of darkness that exists anywhere human beings are found in large numbers.
I still see Beauty in nature, I still interact with animals who See me as I am and respond in kind, and I am still brought to tears of Joy by the happiness of the few people I see who shine. The rest of the time when I have to venture out amongst the maddening throngs I simply do what I have to, smile and shine, then head home to recharge the inner batteries in order to shift the dark-clouds that attach to me.
We are like sponges in that we absorb this negative cloud and so must cleanse ourselves of it daily in order to not become infected and adversly effected by it... otherwise we cannot hope to shine in that darkness.
My world is the Fringe, being in the world but not of it.. being balanced between the world of Form and Force.
