I would "look up; for my redemption draws near." (Luke 21:28b)

I'd call Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck and a team of roughnecks to jump into the space shuttle, rock out to some Aerosmith, and blow the heck out of the chunk of meteor that was hurdling towards the Earth.

Oh, wait a second ... that's a movie. Dang it.

No mortal will know when Armageddon will happen; yes they can read the signs, but no one can say if it will happen tomorrow, next week, next month, next year ... or when(ever).

And while I don't think it is ever a bad time to pray, I really don't think doing it the day before Armageddon is gonna make all that much difference and I think that many will be motivated to do so for all the wrong reasons.

And while I respect those who go to church to pray, I don't have to be in a particular place to pray - just a particular state of mind, body, heart, and spirit.

No. If Armageddon really was tomorrow, all the praying in the world probably wouldn't change it. I would comfort my family and enjoy my pets and think about the fact that I will become star dust and be born again.

I would be very surprised to have missed the Rapture and the rise of the Antichrist, as well as the 7 year peace in the Middle East, the rebuilding of the temple and several other things. However, if you would do something new because you knew Christ were coming tomorrow, well, maybe it's a little late to start. Nevertheless, if you can imagine the possibility now, maybe it's time to start cramming for the exam and asking Him for the help we all need..

I don't believe in Armageddon the way most of you here seem to think of it. For me, it means I (we) have achieved my (our) purpose and am ready to move on to whatever lies beyond this existence. Armageddon states the world has ended which can only mean the entire world has achieved its highest purpose, which would be a great thing indeed!

In short, I would celebrate and look forward to a better life/world.

I would try to see all of my family and tell them I love them. I would pray throughout and pray with them.

I would hope that I'm worthy of the promises of Christ, but yes, I'd pray - not necessarily in a Church though.

God bless!

One thing I would not do is tell my wife. She like many woman is very sensitive. So I would suggest a movie and make love with her. The next day I would make sure she does not find out that this is it. Then I would.....................................remember that the San Francisco Giants play tomorrow and I would pray that we get the game in before the world ends.

No, it's hypocritical to do any such thing out of fear, and it's insincere and if there is a god he's see right through that kind of crap.

I would try to spend the day living my life as a witness to what good there was in the world, and I hope I would have the sanity to do that every day.

if you live your life as a vehicle for god's wrath, then you not doing anything for the great unwashed masses out there who could benefit from your witness.

i would pray to allah other then that there is not much that can be done but according to my religious beliefs it is not here because there are still prophetsies that need to come before the end of time.

No. I'd try to find a rational explanation for why Earth would face destruction and leave the fairy tales to small children.
