There won't be any endtime in the sense many have been led to believe. It was a false doomsday scenario to bring about hysteria and delay the dawn of the new golden age. Christ has won full authority over the planet now, just like he was always going to, and has just started cleaning things up so it's quickly getting better day by day now. It can just he hard for us to see as most of the bad things are still in the world and it will take time to get everything as it should be. But the attitude of those working on the spiritual level seems to be very jubilant at this point, like they have won already, although those of us in flesh are tired and can find it hard to see the end of it. Just remember even if it won't be while you're still alive that doesn't mean it still won't be very soon, our whole history considerered.
I also believe this has come about as the final a result of a massive collaboration among all those who have been loyally serving this planet in different ways to bring it back to its paradise-like state. And the tide started turning 2000 years ago with what Jesus achieved when he was on Earth (poorly understood by most). That's when we started getting real hope and ultimately what is happening now has been brought about because there are more positevely orientated consciousnesses than negative ones here at this time. The average individual might not be that immensively high-consciousness, or more average, but they are more positive than negative. And that is the main way Christ has been put into power, as most, if they had the choice would choose him rather than some negative leader. Because although most people have their challenges when it comes to over coming the negative/destructive tendencies in their own consciousness, few are that monstrous or stupid.
As for who said "What if you were put there at this time to be a part of it for some reason?" Well, what if you know you were but have failed, like many of us, and had to live with that? Some of us have come here with more reponsibility because of what we're capable of and what we've been able to accomplish before. I know I had planned to play a more significant role of make more of a contribution and fucked it up for different reasons. Some things that went wrong outside my control and then I just didn't have the strength or couldn't be bothered. Luckily there were so many extras who came along to ensure we'd succeed and there are so many who have done great for themselves and much better than what would be expected. Spiritual missions don't always turn out as planned with everything that's here to distract you and can go wrong. At least I can comfort myself I don't tend to botch my spiritual missions and have done many things to help this planet before. And if nothing else I've been able contribute by holding a higher consciousness throughout my like ( I still consider myself among the highest 10%, maybe that sounds arrogant to some but I was supposed to do a bit better than that, and could have done much better if I'd done my best).
