Well we just don't know when the end of days are coming since Jesus stated that man will not know when it will come. Many have tried to prophesize this and have failed [so did their churches], however the only thing we can go by are the scriptures.
Reminds me of the old bunny rabbit tale of Bugs Bunny [was it bugs? I dont' remember]. It was spring time and the ants were hoarding for the winter, but he didn't care. He would steal from everyone to eat his food and didn't save anything for the cold days. When winter came around, there was no food for him and the ants laughed at him as he nearly froze to death.
So basically we have to start from now to follow Christ and adhere to His teachings coz we really don't know WHEN He will come again to judge us.
