Not all humans will be destroyed at Armageddon. How do we know that? The Bible assures us that “God knows how to deliver people of godly devotion out of trial, but to reserve unrighteous people for the day of judgment to be cut off.” (2 Peter 2:9) We can be confident, then, that God will keep his almighty power under perfect control. Only those who defy God’s sovereignty will face his wrath at Armageddon. There will be no inadvertent casualties.—Psalm 2:2, 9; Genesis 18:23, 25.

Only those who defy God’s sovereignty will face his wrath at Armageddon. There will be no inadvertent casualties.—Psalm 2:2, 9; Genesis 18:23, 25.
The Bible tells us that God will “bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” (Revelation 11:18) Clearly, then, God’s purpose is not to destroy our planet. Instead, he will remove the wicked human society that opposes his rulership. This follows the pattern he set at the time of the Deluge of Noah’s day.—Genesis 6:11-14; 7:1; Matthew 24:37-39.
A “Fear-Inspiring Day”
Granted, a number of Bible prophecies of the coming destruction are alarming. For example, the prophet Joel spoke of “the great and fear-inspiring day of God” (Joel 2:31) God’s arsenal includes snow, hail, earthquake, infectious disease, flooding downpour, rain of fire and sulfur, deadly confusion, lightning, and a flesh-rotting scourge. (Job 38:22, 23; Ezekiel 38:14-23; Habakkuk 3:10, 11; Zechariah 14:12, 13) And the Bible graphically describes a time in which the dead will cover the surface of the earth, left either as manure or as food for the birds and other animals. (Jeremiah 25:33, 34; Ezekiel 39:17-20) Fright will grip God’s enemies during this war.—Revelation 6:16, 17.
Does this mean that obedient worshippers of the true God should be afraid of the astonishing events that will take place at Armageddon? By no means, for God’s servants on earth will not take part in this conflict. Moreover, they will be protected by God. Still, true worshippers will be awestruck by the fear-inspiring display of God’s power.—Psalm 37:34; Proverbs 3:25, 26.
Significantly, though, the apostle John was inspired to assure us: “Happy is anyone observing the words of the prophecy of this scroll,” including the warning about Armageddon. (Revelation 1:3; 22:7)

I am sorry to say but I am not ready. I hope that one day soon that I would repent of my sins and be washed in the blood of the lamb. I know that "to him that knoweth to do good an ddoeth it not shall be beaten with many stripes". I pray that this does not happen to me. Keep in the faith Sister!

True!! Don't worry be happy! End times may be our life ending. We can do good for others and forgive too. Following and Believing in Jesus is the way to see your deceased body, and leaving it, and going on to heaven after you die.

I do NOT worry about the End Times for myself, I know I am saved by the Precious Blood of Jesus!! My heart is with my adult kids. I am praying for their salvation. The Bible says that because I am saved, so shall be my household! I just have to wait for it to be manifested.

You should defenitly worrry about the end of times because if you don't...you could die tomorrow and could go to hell if you're not saved by God. If you are saved by God, you have nothing to worry about though because then you know for sure that you are going to Heaven. =]

If you live every day doing God's Will then when you don't need to worry about anything.
