One does not need to be a Prophet to see that the world is waxing worse and worse...pick up any newspaper.
The result of living "man's" way is evident...crime and violence, death and destruction. How long will God allow it to continue? The Good News...not much longer.
You may be like those who say it won't happen ("where is the promise of his coming, for since the fathers fell asleep, nothing has changed") Or, you may believe God is going to "rapture" you away from the destruction (be careful, "heaven" is not what they say it is...you're not going to be partying with friends in a mansion).
I understand how you could hold either one or both of these positions...but that just means you'll probably die in the tribulation.
Sorry to be so blunt; but if you don't think it will happen and it does (when they cry peace and safety), you'll be unprepared for what's coming. Or, if you think God is going to take you away and he doesn't, you'll also be unprepared to survive.
Preparing is not paranoia...it's wisdom.
It's not the end of the world, as some would have you believe; just the end of the world as we know it; and the beginning of a new world, where every knee will bow and tongue proclaim that Jesus is Lord.
Jesus said to be ready always; and wisdom would dictate that you prepare for the worst; because when you're prepared, it doesn't matter what happens, or when.
Until you are reborn Spiritually...nothing else matters.
