>> Will there be time to repent if a catastrophe takes place?
Best advice? Don't wait. Be ready every day or it can be too late. Why do you think Paul said he had to "die daily"? Each morning, just as soon as you get up, kneel down and rededicate yourself to the LORD -- asking for the Holy Spirit to be with you again that day.
God bless.

Ha! How many catastrophies will have to take place before people repent. God sends signs and warnings to draw people to repentance, but people just never do catch on

We have to repent before occurance of a catostrophe. Whether it is end of the world or not, but for the person who becomes its victim, the world would end.
Our creator is extremely Kind and allows our repentance before we see signs of death. Once signs of a catsostrphe or
death to an individual are apparent, his book of account is closed and he looses the chance to repent.
May the Merciful Lord grant us a chance to repent, before it is too late.

That all depends on whether or not this catastrophe is the end of the world and Armageddon. In that case, there would still be time to repent but all would have to be tried, as in trials and tribulations, to prove their devotion to God.

Your world can end in an instant. You could be dead before you know it. It could happen in any moment in time.
You might ckoke in your sleep, you could trip over a toy and hit your head, or fall down a set of stairs.
Time to repent? Maybe, maybe not.
Far better to live fully with no fear and no regrets.

What will you repent for... your life and what you did wrong? Don't wait too long... We all do wrong and we do know better. Sounds like you feel guilty about something. Been there, done that... Leaves you too unsettled... Fix things ahead of time and you will be better off...

Whether you repent or not it doesn't really matter because all sin is punishable by death according to the old testament.

Maybe and maybe not.
Why delay?
Why miss out on the growth in grace of repenting of sin and malice today?

Keep yourself refreshed in the Lord, admit your wrongs and ask the Lord for forgiveness. YOU will be fine. What shall we then say to these things? If GOD be for us, WHO can be against us? - Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with BENEFITS, even the GOD of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19. - Peace, Love and God Bless.

Stop believing in fairy tales, and then you won't have to worry about whether or not there will be time to spout any prayers to some invisible man in the sky. It's far better to enjoy and appreciate your life, and if you're ever in imminent danger it makes more sense to keep your mind focused on protecting yourself (as well as your loved ones) and trying to survive, rather than falling down on your knees and talking into the air.
