I’m 73, and I’ve heard this “prophecy” over, and over, and over, since I can remember.

The way I learned it, only God knows the time, and no one else.

I look at it like this, like I did with all of the “bomb” scares of the Cold War era, If it comes, there’s nothing anyone can do about it, and we’re all going to go.

If it doesn’t, we’ve still got a life to live for the time being, and I’m not going t sit down and roll up into a ball of fear.

“Doomsday” stories are always a media favorite.

I'm not that old but I did live though some of the Cold War hysteria.It was possible, though and did give it some credence.

My first reading of a doomsday prophecy was when I was thirteen and read about the Millerites(Not Mill lites)

I thought "who would believe this?

Then I started watching late night "televangelists" and one, Jimmy Swaggart" was particularly interesting. He didn't get any of my money(didn't have any) but I did get out the family Bible and tried to follow his rendition of the Bible. Also Gene Scott. He was a trip.
