The Apocalypse -- What does the Bible really teach about the End of the World, Armageddon, the second coming of Jesus Christ and the ultimate defeat of Satan and the Antichrist? The gospels and the book of Revelation raise many apocalyptic questions for Christians that demand reflection.

Hasten the End - Apocalypse Now!
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
That is sound advice for those of the Doomsday Preppers and survivalists... digging caves for themselves and stockpiling canned goods.. i don't think there is going to be any place to hide.... preoccupy ourselves with speculation over the future battle while neglecting to engage in the battle at hand. Innocent pre-born babies are being slaughtered on a daily basis; thousands of Christians are imprisoned and tortured worldwide because of their faith, millions are exploited economically, and a secularist propaganda machine mounts a relentless attack on marriage and chastity. Are we combatants in this struggle or do we sit by the sidelines reading the headlines?
Apocalyptic speculation is a waste of valuable time and energy. Jesus clearly says “as to the exact day or hour, no one knows it” (Mark 13:32). It is futile to try to figure it out. But denying the reality of the current conflict or leaving the combat to others is also a waste of precious time
