There's a statue in Belgium of the four horsemen of the apocalypse which is I believe over 150 years old and we were told that every generation since that statue has been erected believed that the statue was a sign that the apocalypse would happen in their time.
I don't feel doomed I think things are unfolding the way they're meant to.
So when the time is right it will come to pass and not before. Thank you for your reply Yogafan. I wonder how many times the devout disposed of all their worldly belongings and went to sit on a mountaintop waiting for the end of times? :)
