Study the word of God to build up your faith and refine your Christian Suit of Armor.
Eph. 6:10 Finally, go on acquiring power in [the] Lord and in the mightiness of his strength. 11 Put on the complete suit of armor from God that YOU may be able to stand firm against the machinations of the Devil; 12 because we have a wrestling, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places. 13 On this account take up the complete suit of armor from God, that YOU may be able to resist in the wicked day and, after YOU have done all things thoroughly, to stand firm.
14 Stand firm, therefore, with YOUR loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and with YOUR feet shod with the equipment of the good news of peace. 16 Above all things, take up the large shield of faith, with which YOU will be able to quench all the wicked one’s burning missiles. 17 Also, accept the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, that is, God’s word, 18 while with every form of prayer and supplication YOU carry on prayer on every occasion in spirit. And to that end keep awake with all constancy and with supplication in behalf of all the holy ones, 19 also for me, that ability to speak may be given me with the opening of my mouth, with freeness of speech to make known the sacred secret of the good news, 20 for which I am acting as an ambassador in chains; that I may speak in connection with it with boldness as I ought to speak.
All those things will prepare you and me for what is to come. Thank you for the question, sister!

Since no one knows when the end will occur, if you believe in Christianity, then you need to make sure your soul is right with Christ. Until the end comes, continue with your life, trying to love others as you love yourself and loving God with all your heart. These are the commandments Christ told us were most important.
Don't believe anyone who tells you a certain day on which the end will come. The Bible tells us no one knows the time. There is nothing worse than someone who sells everything in anticipation of the end at some specific date, only to have it not happen then.

Like everybody else. Make a will, tell someone close to you what you like to wear in your coffin and what music you'd like them to hear on your funeral and stuff like that. Why do you think you're going to die? I hope you're not such a person that believes you will be beamed up in some kind of apocalypse. This is only mentioned in some of the English translations of the bible, so if anything in the bible is false, this is it.
But enough people thinking like you, especially when they are more powerful than you are, and it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. I mean the total destruction, not the beaming-up-part.
Please lighten up. Why don't you try to get some information about the bible and it's stories from other than biblical sources once in while, and try to see the world from a different angle. It could be like switching on the light in a dark room you've only been told about by people who've never been there themselves either. Don't get strangled in the maze of religious doctrines that keep brainwashing you with ancient mythology.
God is only an explanation for the unknown in times certain things were not known yet, when science was forbidden, because one should not try to compete with god or try to discover god's secrets and so on.

Did you verbally, ask Jesus Christ to come into your life, and wash away your sins, and guide you? Did you mean it with all of your heart, body, and mind? If you have, then you are saved from hell. You now have eternal security.
If you have been saved, are you reading up on God's word. Are you praying to him, asking him to reveal his plan for you? Are you praying for others? These won't get you saved, but they help you bear good fruit!
You don't need to plan for these end times we are living in. God knows his people, and he knows everything you need.
Luke (12)
"Are not five sparrows sold for two cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. (7)"Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows. "
----See, God even knows how many hairs we have on our head right now. How awesome is that? ----
Matthew (6)
(31) “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ (32) These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. (33) Seek the Kingdom of God[d] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. (34) “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
----Well there you go right there. Don't worry about it. Put more faith and trust in Jesus Christ! You will be just fine, he will take care of you. Remember the slaves from Egypt God brought out. They wanted food, so he made it rain Quail, and mana from heaven. And water come out of rocks. He can do ANYTHING. He is not bound by our earthly math or science. He made those things for us, so there wouldn't be chaos. ----
Much love, and God bless you!!

We are coming to a close, of the end of this age. Soon to be tribulation period up ahead. That is, if you know bible prophecy at all. 100% correct, and 1/3 of the bible is prophecy.

Plan your life as if the end will not come in your life time but LIVE your life like it's the day after tomorrow.

Not think about the end and focus on being in the here and now, living, experiencing, taking care of yourself, your family and this earth.

You need to find out how to get right with God before it's too late to do that.

1) Read, study/meditate, and apply Bible teachings. 2) PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. 3) Associate regularly with those who want to do God's will.
