The Bible clearly teaches that God never pours out His wrath without warning for He is a just and loving God who does not wish that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9). That’s why He has provided so many signs to alert us to the fact that we are living on the threshold of the Tribulation.

How to Make Peace with God and Have the Full Assurance that you are Christ’s!
You are speaking as a mere piece of dust, from a finite perspective. Speaking of current events, the LORD knows all things from the beginning to the end and foretold those events long before they happened (Isaiah 46:9-10). Read Matthew 24 for today’s news, for example. And then the book of Revelation. So, is murder obsolete? “Thou shalt not kill.” (Exodus 20:13) No. What about lying? “Thou shalt not bear false witness.” (Exodus 20:16) No. How about adultery… is that obsolete? “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” (Exodus 20:14) … “There is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us” (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10) Is stealing still recognized as a wrong? Yes and who first called it sin? “Thou shalt not steal.” (Exodus 20:15) Actually, you are unprepared for now and the future because you are biblically-illiterate. You are actually fulfilling Bible prophecy as you mock God and what He told us in His Word. “There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat (nuclear war), the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2 Peter 3)
