Look at our reality, we are born due to countless generations of death and destruction only to struggle through our mortal existence in order to kill and destroy even more of creation to survive and reproduce, only to die and leave a legacy of death and destruction in our offspring.
We live a life of pain and temptation, we hunger, we thirst, we get sick, we die. All of this is the opposite of what we are promised in heaven. Sounds like hell to me already, and now the end of the world? What did we do to deserve all this? What evil are we guilty of to have to live a mortal existence like we have? Rebelling against such things sounds pretty righteous to me.
With Biblical prophecy playing out before our eyes, it is only making me think that God isn't the benign heavenly father that we have been fooled into believing he is. His might is terrible and awesome and when I bow down at his arrival, I don't believe it will be due to his loving nature. I am a post-tribulation rapture type, so I believe that no one is getting a get-out-of-jail-free card until after the smoke clears. If you're saved, you still have to die before you can be resurrected into a perfect eternal body.

A trail goes two ways and looks different in each direction - There is no such thing as a timid woodland creature - Whatever does not kill you leaves you a survivor - Jesus is NOT a bad word - MSB
