Life or death, whatever tomorrow holds, you can trust your life to God today, he holds the present and the future in his hand, you can feel safe in his hands. True, the Bible tells of a difficult time coming, but God never forsakes someone that trust in him.

IF???
Don't You Recognize the Sign of Jesus' Presence? http://www.watchtower.org/e/20051001/article_01.htm
Armageddon is both:
- A Catastrophic End --&-- A Happy Beginning ...
http://watchtower.org/e/20051201/article_01.htm
The choice one makes determines which it is for you.
However, preceding immediately before Amageddon,
The End of False Religion will occur.
- What false religion is
- How it will end
- How to identify true religion
http://www.watchtower.org/e/kn37/article_01.htm
It is each person's choice, whether they will have a happy --or-- sad outcome.
Although many teach that the earth itself is going to be destroyed, that couldn't be further from the truth!
"A generation is going, and a generation is coming; but the earth is standing even to time indefinite." --Ecclesiastes 1:4
"For this is what Jehovah the true God has said, the Creator of the heavens, the Former of the earth ..., >who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited<: “I am Jehovah, and there is no one else."
-- Isaiah 45:18
It is the Wickedness --& Sources of Wickedness-- so prevalent upon the earth that will be removed -- Not earth, nor humanity as a whole:
"The nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, ... to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” --Revelation 11:18
"The transgressors themselves will certainly be annihilated together." --Psalms 37:38
"The righteous themselves will possess the earth." --Psalms 37:29
“Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” --Revelation 21:3,4
http://www.watchtower.org/library/dg/article_10.htm
To reiterate, you have a CHOICE. For even those who DIie Faithful to God, are Living to Him -- in that he has promised to Resurrect them to Perfect Life, in a Restored Paradise, on Earth! http://www.watchtower.org/library/rq/article_05.htm
"Both if we live, we live to Jehovah, and if we die, we die to Jehovah. Therefore both if we live and if we die, we belong to Jehovah." --Romans 14:8
Hopefully, you will choose life ...

Lol, who knows. You find 3 Christians and ask them to explain revelation to you, about the best they can do is spout stuff from the "Left Behind" book series. That is when they don't just disagree with each other outright. (Or just don't have a clue).

There is no soul sleep of the righteous. The moment we die, we face the judgment of God (Hebrews 9:27).
Until the time of the final resurrection at the Second Coming, there is a temporary Heaven, “Paradise”, (Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 12:4) and Hell, “Hades”, (Revelation 1:18; 20:13-14).
The bible clearly says:
2Co 5:8 Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. (ESV Translation)
Those that are damned will ultimately join Satan in their separation from God in Hell.
2Th 1:9 They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
Those that have died in Christ now reside in heaven as spiritual beings. Since Christ, the second person of the Godhead, has always existed, the elect of God have been known to Him before Christ actually walked the earth. So anyone who has died since the world began exists in paradise or in Hades as described above.
Those who have died in Christ will not remain in heaven as a soul without a body. At God’s appointed time, there will be a final resurrection where the spirit will be unified with the resurrected body at the second coming of Christ at the final judgment. From Phil. 3:20-21, and 1 John 3:2, we know that our glorified bodies will be like that of Christ. We will not be deity like He is, but we will have the same qualities of His resurrection body. Our heavenly bodies will be our glorified earthly bodies. Christ’s body that died on the cross was the same one that was resurrected. His glorified body was able to travel through walls, appear suddenly, and ascend to heaven. From 1 Corinthians 15:39-40, 42b-43, we learn that our heavenly bodies will possess flesh that is of a different variety than our earthly ones. Our new bodies will be bodies of flesh, but as different from our earthly bodies as humans are from animals.
In conclusion, like a seed, the body of the righteous will be sown or buried and then one day be raised up to life. It is buried in death, decay, weakness, and dishonor. When it is resurrected, it will be changed in every way. It is raised up imperishable, glorious, powerful, and spiritual. We will then have eternal, permanent, and perfected bodies.

If you are saved you will go directly to heaven. The not saved will have a seven year period to get right with god before the end of the world.

I suppose you've heard of TMI (to much information). However, as much as I would like to put some thought into your question, it is too vague. I need more information.

Not unless we are in the middle of one of the deadly judgements and you are at ground zero, or it is your time, or something. I would not worry about such things, especially if you are a Christian.

Why would you want to die when you can learn what God requires of us and live forever on a Paradise Earth?
