I have mixed feelings. I really hope the Apocalypse will not for a very very long time. I have mixed feelings of worry and panic with faith that people will improve our society and environment to make our world last a bit longer, before it gets worse again and Jesus comes. The way things look now it seems as though he'd becoming in 2050, but that seems too obvious. We've had bad eras before where people were so convinced it was the end and things still improved...it's cyclical. Yes some things are really bad today such as affluenza, lack of nuclear families, and sexual immorality but some things have also actually improved and are overlooked. Our society accepts immoral things today that weren't in the past, but there are immoral things that were accepted in the past that aren't today (slavery, domestic abuse, racism, etc.). Also, we are becoming more educated about what we can do to save our planet and in some places things are environmentally improving. So there is a tradeoff and in away our society is equally as moral overall, just about different things.
However…to be modest (which kind of contradicts everything I said) no human should really know when it will happen. Jesus made that very clear that we shouldn’t be arrogant enough think we have an idea of when it will happen. It could happen tomorrow, or it could happen a million years from now. But hopefully before the sun explodes on us lol. So in conclusion, I believe we should find a healthy balance by being positive and faithful without getting arrogantly overconfident and complacent. Hopefully the beauty of our planet will be found in His everlasting kingdom anyway so I shouldn’t have to worry about parting with our world. The reason why I don’t want it to happen when I’m alive is because I want a lifetime to spiritually improve myself so I can be worthy to go to heaven. I’m 20 and have a lot of growing up to do. I think I am a relatively good Christian for my age and all, but I still don’t think I am worthy yet.
