by the writers? For you to say, "Gee, I'm just gonna get old and die, but if the end times show up that whole process won't be so lonesome." is just conceited. Everyone feels that they are at the 'centre' of everything because of course we are stuck in our own heads. But to extrapolate that out to the ending of the world as we know it.....making us 'special' ...is pure and simple conceit.
When are you Christians gonna get with the program...the world rotates around me...not you...get used to it. LOL

People have been proclaiming that they are living through the "end times" for waaaaay too long. There's always some unhygienic street-corner evangelist crackpot sputtering about how the world is going to end and that all the heathens better get the Lord harassed into their unsaved souls.
It STILL hasn't happened. The sky isn't falling. The oceans aren't boiling. Pigs are most definitely NOT sprouting wings and taking to the skies. They've been barking about it for years and years and years and they'll STILL be barking for years to come.
It's a scare tactic, a convenient freak- the- everliving- crap- out- of- folks magic wand that can be waved about in dramatic fashion any time the religious collective feels the soul harvest is running dry.
Trust me... go about your life. Ok, I'm sure you will anyhow considering there's really no alternative option (besides suicide, and I've heard “God” frowns upon that), but just make sure to keep in mind: STAY CALM. DON'T PANIC. REMEMBER YOUR TOWEL.

The "End-Times" and "Last Days" actually started after the crucifixion of Jesus and He ascended. More correctly, at Pentacost with the Descent of the Holy Spirit.
Mankind has been in the "Last Days" for some 2000 years now. Even the early first century Apostles thought they would live to see His return.
There is a ton of scriptural support for this if people would only read and study their bibles rather than listen to TV preachers.
Read 'The Apocalypse Explained' by H.M. Feret, O.P. This book is actually an older work originally titled 'The Apocalypse of St. John' written in WWII France (1941) and is now in print again and in English. Everyone seriously interested in end-time prophecy should read this one.

People been saying that since 1,000 AD
Who care.
It's all in the Bible.
We win.
Only some of us get to heaven and some of us don't
Because of that Book of Life
And Mark of the Beast
It don't matter how much your praise Jesus.
No name in book
No go to heaven
Do you want that reality NOW or later
YOu're choice.
JUst live a good life and forget the rest
