I think the only one who can decide the last day of Earth, are the scientists. "Beware - the asteroid is coming!"
Religious people cannot. Certainly not fundamentalists.

When a bride and a bridegroom get married they are most excited about being with one another. Only after the joy of being together the bride may ask her bridegroom "Honey, could you please take out the trash?"
We who are to "married" Christ take no delight in the punishment of the wicked. That is a side show just like a little taking out of the smelly garbage on the honeymoon night.
The real enjoyment is to be with Him and reign with Him. Atheists, don't flatter yourselves so much. You're just a little dead fly in the oinment, that's all, easily dealt with, easily discarded by the Lord.

Scientists (so-called) have been talking about the sky falling for at least a hundred years. Fundamentalists, the lot.

I don't need to turn the heating on this morning as the love emanating from you this morning is enough?!

Maybe tough love. Actually, I'm doing you a friendly service by telling you the truth.

There is no inconsistency between God so loving the world and giving the Son for its salvation and His righteous destruction of His enemies who refuse that salvation.
Make no mistake about it. With His enemies it is a matter of divine revenge:
" ... the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of His power, in flaming fire, rendering vengence to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His strength ..." (See 2 Thess. 1: 7-9)
We should not have a one sided view of the attributes of God. His love is not the sentimental permissiveness of a Dr. Spock. His love is a love with righteousness.
Yet to those who are reconciled from being His enemies, their judgment is passed. It occured on Calvary.
"For if we, being enemies, were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more we will be saved in His life, having been reconciled." (Rom. 5:10)
There is no inconsistency in "the kindness and severity of God."

How many years have you been rolling your eyes around ?
Year after year you knew that God so loved the world that He gave His onlybegotten Son that whosever believes into Him might not perish but have eternal life.
Has that love softened your heart to ask Christ to be your Savior ?
I suspect it has not. So why do you roll your eyes around as if the offer is hypocritical ?
Be happy. You're getting what you want - the choice to not believe and not repent, to perish.

What they who only call themselves scientists say or not say means nothing. Even fundamentalists who believe in obscure religious phenomena call themselves scientists. Why? Because it sounds good. Let's dismiss them.
I don't know if any (real) scientist ever has set the date when sky will fall down. (What does that mean, by the way?) If I'm wrong, give references, please.
