By the time Jake unwound the timeline, he was about 60 years old and highly educated in the relevant sciences. He knew what he was doing.
When did the Janeway hatred truly start to coalesce?

Yes, I noted that in a subsequent post.
I always had that thought, too. It does seem an interesting coincidence.
Are the prophets native to every timeline?
Every time the timeline splits, the prophets split, and the same prophet or prophets are in both timeliness after the split?
When a Prophet is inside our universe, I'm fine with that, but isn't the celestial temple out side of the Prime Universe, so they are outside looking in at all time lines and universes.
Also they don't see time linearly, so the Phrophets knew the final out of the visitor timeline the moment they were born.
good question, perhaps it’s because they see all possible timelines (or at least many of them) that they are confused about linear time. And annoyed at the 10006th Zek that shows up!
I would expect the Prophets to be 'trans-timeline' (i.e. having an overview over all possible timelines). Then again, they don't appear to exist (or play an active role regarding Bajor, at least) in the Mirror Universe.
The Mirror Universe inhabitants should have learned about the wormhole and its position in the first episode featuring it (Crossover) - even if only to be able to explain where Kira and Bashir came from and how they escaped. And even if they didn't then, they would have learned about it when visiting 'our' universe in later episodes.
You would expect that knowledge of the wormhole would be important in any setting - after all it changes the tactical map and opens a door to the Gamma Quadrant -for all the opportunities and threats that shortcut would provide, just like in our universe- probably the mirror GQ would also be teeming with species and perhaps even a Mirror Dominion. But strangely, it seems no one cares about all that in the Mirror Universe in the slightest.

Mirror Ben and Jennifer were apparently never that close. Though they were married, they were separated for a lomg before Smiley met Sisko.
What puzzles me more is: How come Mirror Ben exist(ed) in the first place? After all, in our universe, the prophets interfered in order to make sure he would be born.
This is exactly the kind of thing that throws me out of some of the mirror universe and some of the time travel episodes. Future's End is really fun but the ending ruins it for me.
In Crossover, Bashir and Kira came out of the wormhole into the MU, and fled through it again. Apparently they weren't devoured either one of those times.
Also, not everything is corrupted in the MU. Brunt, for example, seemed a fairly decent guy, nicer than in our universe actually.

Ditto with Evil Odo. Who knows, then? Maybe people preferred conquering to exploring over there.
Quark too. And Rom. The only really "bad" Ferengi seemed to be Nog.
Given that the Alliance was pretty awful, and the Terrans would likely rebuild the Empire if they won... maybe the Ferengi are the MU's only chance of a humane and rational government.
Smiley was an ok guy as well.
If there's only one celestial temple, but as soon as a Prophet leaves the temple they are fractured into an infinite versions of themselves, and then later when their mission is over, maybe only one of those infinite Prophets are allowed to go home... And that's where Paugh Wraiths come from, all the prophets left out in the cold.
