Promises of positive outcomes eventually and threats made by God via prophecy are different things. Unless God was a liar when he told Jonas that Nineveh was going to be destroyed?
The Jews thought like you. They thought they had this whole coming of the Messiah thing nailed down and figured out. So when he came in a way they didn’t expect, they rejected him. Your reading of Revelation, the least literal, most painfully obviously symbolic book that frankly history has already played out and been fulfilled multiple times since Jesus walked the earth is hardly the ironclad testament I would need to cast my faith in the Q plan aside. For all any of us know, this was how God chose to work with us in this dispensation.
But you can keep talking in absolutes like you know things the rest of us don’t if you feel like it.
As the story of Jonas shows us, prophecies are warnings, not guarantees.

You just got compared to a Jew. You’ll survive.
