The End Times

I watched the video about the end times this morning and it kind of scared me. I know we're very near the end even though it could be 50 or 100 years before Jesus returns... but it scares me when I hear all that's going on in the world, all the preparation for the antichrist and prophecies being fulfilled. We really are near the end and it's so important we're ready for everything that's going to happen. A lot of times I think "Hm... I wonder what God is preparing me for" and in my head is marriage, family... and I think that's true, but I also think He's preparing us all for the end times - knowing what we believe in and why we believe it, knowing the Scripture and the truth about Him...
