It is not a question of whether the world—man's corrupt
civilization—will end. God's Word says it will. Our chief
concern should not be when it will end. Jesus said it would be
impossible for men to precisely calculate this ahead of time (Matthew
24:36, 42, 44).
Instead, our main focus should be to seek God to be spiritually prepared
for the times that are coming. "But keep on the alert at
all times," said Jesus, "praying in order that you may have
strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and
to stand before the Son of Man" (Luke 21:36, New American Standard
Bible).
