What do you mean the odds?
The prophecy is having it's fulfillment right in front of your eyes! The king of the south pushing the king of the north. Both are gonna have an inglorious end so soon, without human intervention....
See, that is how the Borg keep attached the RF... it's like an addiction...

I remember, around the time of 1975, a circuit overseer using the illustration of waiting at a bus stop. 'If the bus doesn't turn up when you expect it to, do you wander off?', he asked. 'No you wait as you know it will be a long in a few minutes' was his follow up.
All I can say is I know a lot of people who have since died waiting at that bus stop.

Yes, I remember wondering why world events didn't get much worse in the late '60's and early '70's. I was expecting the Great Tribulation, but life hummed on normally. In early October 1975 I remember standing in my kitchen, expectant of some cataclysmic event, but nothing happened. NOTHING!
Needless to say, that time was the most disappointing and unnerving time of my life. Then, at the kingdumb hall, they told us that we didn't know how much time there was between the creation of Adam and the creation of Eve (as if that had something to do with their false prophecies) and that they could be a few years off.
By 1979, I didn't care if I made it through Armageddon or not. My mental health was failing, and I knew I had to change my situation in order to get it back. I am thankful for that false prophecy because it got me THINKING!

I once asked an automobile restoration specialist why he left his cars out in the weather, subject to the elements while they waited for him to put them into the schedule for renewal. He said that he could undo all the damage as long as he got to them in a reasonable timeframe.
Whether the end is close or not, I suppose God knows that he can undo all the damage to mankind (and individuals) when he takes action for the salvation of all. That is hard to accept when I see innocent people suffering unspeakable pain. However, I still accept it.
The average lifetime of seventy-four years is not a long time, except when one is enduring. I still have confidence that even the worst pains in life will pale in comparison to the grace that God will extend. I once endured a terrible ordeal and thankfully survived. In retrospect, I feel that it made me a better person, even though no justice was ever served.
If the end is close, so be it. If not, I think we will still be saved and appreciate later that our confidence was not misplaced, or lost.
I hope this doesn't sound wishy washy, but it is how I honestly feel.

What are the odds that Armageddon will happen in any of our lifetimes? I word it that we because we have different lifetimes (with possible rare exceptions, we will die on different days).

What are the odds that the Bible is correct about what it says about Armageddon, not merely what it said about when Armageddon would happen?
