"Behold I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book." (Revelation 22:7)
When the subject is the destiny of the planet earth, the people react in different ways. There are those who don't believe that the world will end, affirming that it happens only for those who die.
There are those who agree with the scientific arguments that everything will automatically end as soon as the sun completes its vital cycle and gets extinguished, as it happens with the stars, but they argue that its a preoccupation for other generations, reserved only for our descendants.
However, the verse below, warn us not to be negligent with such important promise:
"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the Ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. It was the same in the days of Lot.
People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulphur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. On that day no one who is on the roof of the house, with his goods inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything."
(Luke 17:26-31)
You cannot be confused with other facts of the history of the church many people believe that the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ was the descending of the Holy Spirit, on the day of Pentecost.
The parousy ,however, will be accompanied by two important events: the resurrection of the dead and the snatch of the church, what immediately discards the possibility of such people being right.
Read: 1 Corinthians 15:52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17
