In Matthew 24 of the KJV Holy Bible the Lord speaks of the end times and the events which must take place before He returns. Also in Luke 21, Mark 13 and the book of Revelation all speaks of the times in which we live today. There are many other places in Scripture that speaks of these times. I urge you to read at least these chapters of the Gospel first so you can compare these events to today.
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he...

And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the...

And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat...

I am here for any questions. I do NOT attend the denominational (to denominate or to take on a lesser name) churches. I am only a worker in the Body of Christ here to serve your questions. I'm not perfect and will never be while living in this body. The only perfect one who walked on this Earth is Jesus Christ (the Son of God) which went to the cross for the sins of the world. He is coming back and time is short so only serious content will be answered.
Human lifetimes are incredibly short and therefore, unless somebody puts in a concerted effort to study history, it is easy to catastrophize current events.
There have been so many pivotal moments in human history that were called apocalypses. A lot of people even died. Then we made it through, and humanity survived it all.
I notice that people think it's the end times when the negative circumstances seem so much larger than them, so overwhelming, and so incomprehensible that they defer to superstitious explanations.
The truth is that humanity has always had difficulty living with its most dangerous knowledge and power. The tendency to abuse power is ubiquitous throughout history. Add natural disasters to that and we have experienced many apocalypses.
My friend, who is in his 70s now, grew up as a Jehovas Witness. His parents were so convinced that the world was going to end in 1965 that they built a bunker on their property and they hid in it for basically two years. It was like something out of a movie. Then eventually they re-emerged and nothing in the world was any different. When my friend turned 18 he left home and never spoke to his family again.
Christians
want the world to the end. They can't reckon with the reality of human life and all the contradictions to their faith. Rather than admit that their religion's proscriptions are mostly a bunch of bullshit that have misled them, they want to see the world burn. That's how fucked up they are. They think that the rapture will bring their saviour back to them. It's such a pathetic way of seeing the world and I am really embarrassed that humans like this still exist in the year 2024.
Christianity started as a cult in the catacombs of Rome. Then by sheer luck they got Emperor Constantine to endorse them as an official religion -- arguably one of the worst political decisions in human history. They should have stayed illegal and in the catacombs. We have been dealing with their literal insanity for centuries.
It's your limits as a Christian that need to come to an end, not the world. This is why the Abrahamic faiths are dangerous. Your type of thinking is why jihadists and other religious fundamentalists want to get their hands on nuclear weapons.
