Although it has been awhile since it was last heard, there once was a thought which was commonly expressed during ANY discussions about the end times.
“I thought I’d be long gone before any of this happened!”
From listening to the REST of what the person said, it was discovered that this thought was a way of avoiding any talk of the end times. That is, the person would open with that thought and then look around AS IF that was all there was to the conversation.
However, after MORE thought was devoted to the topic, it was revealed that this thought was merely a way of saying, “I haven’t thought about it much. But I have my reasons why that is. Here’s one.”
“I thought I’d be long gone before any of this happened!”
AFTER some further reflection on the matter, it was determined that more than a few folks REALLY did NOT think much about the end times–though they have been set down in God’s Word for CENTURIES–and REALLY are surprised by both the events which are taking place AND the rapidity of those events happening.
Has the reader ever expressed this thought?
WHICH reason did the reader believe was behind such an admission?
OR, has the reader put ANY thought into the matter at all?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
