Jack Kerouac
“Pretty soon there'll be a new kind of murderer, who will kill without any reason at all, just to prove that it doesn't matter, and his accomplishment will be worth no more and no less than Beethoven's last quartets and Boito's Requiem-- churches will fall, Mongolian hordes will piss on the map of the West, idiot kings will burp at bones, nobody'll care and then the earth itself'll disintegrate into atomic dust (as it was in the beginning) and the void still the void won't care, the void'll just go on with that maddening little smile of its that I see everywhere, I look at a tree, a rock, a house, a street, I see that little smile-- That 'secret God-grin' but what a God is this who didn't invent justice?--So they'll light candles and make speeches and the angels rage. Ah but 'I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't matter' will be the final human prayer.”
Jack Kerouac, Desolation Angels

“Fleeing led to safety, remaining led to destruction.”
J.A. Hardgrave, Jesus Wins: The End Times are Better Than you Think

“I can tell you my view of the end-times in one word: Kingdom.”
J.A. Hardgrave, Jesus Wins: The End Times are Better Than you Think

“To the people of Beirut, the post-apocalyptic world of The Umbrella Academy is now a reality. They now live in an obliterated world. From this day forward, they exist in a destroyed world. For them, the End Times just happened.”
Oliver Markus Malloy, American Fascism: A German Writer's Urgent Warning To America

Michael  Ronin
“Those of us who live with peace in our hearts can barely face the shock of this existence, as the pain of our collective experience exceeds the scope of our comprehension. We watch news reports and conclude that the world is tragically insane.”
Michael Ronin, Modern Masculinity for the Conscious Man: Making Sense in Troubled Times

“Physical and spiritual truths are parallel. We use the physical to understudy and understand the spiritual.”
MERCY OKOM, GOD'S END-TIME ARMY: A Heart Cry for Revival in the Church

“The Bride of Christ must break denominational barriers, come together, and reach out to other members of the Body of Christ with love, and not with criticism.”

“What if I tell you that in our time, with only the help of three devices, an encyclopedia, a sheet of paper and a pencil, as in a game we can solve all the riddles of our History in a total perspective, down to the abyssal clarity? – from the 'Ages of Man' to the last Golden Age of mankind, the great prophecies and the mystery of Evil. So that everything that was doubtful becomes irrefutable: the Apocalypse! – You think this impossible? – I tell you: you don’t know the Aleph. And you cannot discern the times. Yet the Aleph and the New Order of the Times are one and the same.”
Florian Dreveskracht, Novus Ordo: An Introduction to the Apocalypse or Geometry of End Times

“Jerusalem is the city where the great tribulation would occur.”
J.A. Hardgrave, Jesus Wins: The End Times are Better Than you Think

“Jesus said the great tribulation would take place before the generation He was speaking to passed away [Matt 24:34]. Also, He said it would never be repeated [Matt. 24:21].”
J.A. Hardgrave, Jesus Wins: The End Times are Better Than you Think

“I believe the verses about one being left and one being taken are actually referring to two different responses to the great tribulation.”
J.A. Hardgrave, Jesus Wins: The End Times are Better Than you Think

“The word Antichrist is completely absent from the most prophetic book in the entire Bible—Revelation.”
J.A. Hardgrave, Jesus Wins: The End Times are Better Than you Think

“Prior to the 1800s, this passage (1 Thess. 4:13-18) was understood by biblical scholars to be referencing the general resurrection and the final coming of the Lord at the end of time. Nobody believed this was referring to some sort of removal of the church from the earth, just prior to a seven-year tribulation period.”
J.A. Hardgrave, Jesus Wins: The End Times are Better Than you Think

Susan Jacoby
“Americans’ enthusiasm for apocalyptic fantasy probably owes more to movies like The Exorcist and The Omen than to the Bible itself.”
Susan Jacoby, The Age of American Unreason

Albert Payson Terhune
“Would Man but deign to serve his God as they, Millennium must dawn within the year.”
Albert Payson Terhune, Buff: A Collie and Other Dog Stories

Bob Palumbo
“We have all probably heard the phrase, ’The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.’ Could we also apply that to God Almighty? I believe we can. The Bible clearly teaches that God changes not. So, how He interacted with mankind during troublesome times in the past is most likely a great indicator of how He will manifest Himself again in future biblical events.”
Bob Palumbo, God's Nature and the End of the Age

“Live continually in an expectation of your great charge. Buy, sell, converse, read, pray, hear, and do all as dying men and passing to receive the recompense of endless joy or woe.

Christians, if you would work while it is day; if you would glorify God on earth; if you would not be prey to the prince of darkness; if you would stand with comfort before the Lord Jesus at His dreadful bar; if you would not spend your days without hope--arise, therefore, and be doing, and the Lord be with you.”
John Fox, Time and the End of Time: Discourses on Redeeming the Time and Considering Our Latter End

Gwen Chavarria
“The Book of Acts says that the prophet Joel was talking about Pentecost when he described your young men seeing visions and your old men dreaming dreams, and he said those things would be in the last days. So how was Pentecost in the last days if we're here almost 2000 years later waiting for the last days?”
Gwen Chavarria, Peace Redemption: A Novel

Aiyaz Uddin
“The Kingdom of God is coming closer each year whether you believe it or not.”

“Even my Buddhist friends have been feeling despair and when they go bad, you know the end is nigh.”
Anne Lamott, Almost Everything: Notes on Hope

“Buzzed, I go to bed, and buzzing with expectation
each morning I wake up ready to do the same thing all over again,

as though faith weren't something inherently crazy, given the state of things.
Lately, I've been making End Times jokes, except they're not really jokes anymore.”
Natasha Oladokun

“America, you have left me on "Read" more times than I can count,
and yet I keep writing these texts to you, though you ghost

me on the regular. Buzzed, I go to bed, and buzzing with expectation
each morning I wake up ready to do the same thing all over again,

as though faith weren't something inherently crazy, given the state of things.
Lately, I've been making End Times jokes, except they're not really jokes anymore.”
Natasha Oladokun

“There is so much betrayal in the Church of God. Hatred has become the order of the day.”

Florian Dreveskracht
“A faulty understanding of science, along with rigorism and spiritual flattening in religion, termed scientism or biblicism, respectively, have taken hold of the Book of Man and lead in every way to a miserable, indeed abject, conception of History. There has been a will to reduce History to a universal law, on the pattern of the natural sciences (Ultimate Law of History, abbreviated to ULH). Or the revelations of scripture are presumptuously held for a gnomon, the shadow-stick of a sundial allowing calculation of the course of salvific History. The outcome, at best, was loss of meaning and relativism. Novus ordo is the reckoning.
History has its own Universal Formula. This “formula” is not a law, nor a scheme, but an order: Novus ordo.”
Florian Dreveskracht, Novus Ordo: An Introduction to the Apocalypse or Geometry of End Times

Florian Dreveskracht
“Was, wenn ich euch sage, dass wir in unserer Zeit, ausgestattet allein mit drei Hilfsmitteln, einer Enzyklopädie, einem Blatt Papier und einem Bleistift, wie im Spiel alle Rätsel unserer Geschichte in einer Totalperspektive bis zur abgründigen Klarheit auflösen können? Von den Weltaltern der Antike bis zum letzten Goldenen Zeitalter der Menschheit, die großen Prophezeiungen und das Geheimnis des Bösen. Sodass alles, was fragwürdig war, fraglos wird: die Apokalypse! – Das haltet ihr für ganz unmöglich? – Ich sage euch: Ihr kennt das Aleph nicht. Und von den Zeiten versteht ihr nichts. Das Aleph aber und die Neue Ordnung der Zeiten sind eins.”

Ivan Stang
This is a crooked and perverse nation, friend. People are more worried about economy than ecology. JESUS! The lack of money makes life difficult, alright, but the presence of radiation and deathkulture chemicals is the very antithesis of life itself…and people run around arguing about the price of goddamn pantyhose.
One thing we MUST prevent, therefore, is letting the Church become a soporific, a “drug” that lets us accept the death of all life on Earth. Yeah, THAT’S funny, HA HA! This better not become some god-awful End Times PORN for those who can only “get off” on fear-and-laughter. The Church should make it easier to conceive of the humans’ inconceivable threat to themselves, but ONLY IF THAT MAKES US DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
THAT is the whole point.”
Ivan Stang, The Book of the SubGenius

Lioness DeWinter
“They arrested Matthias and me, and beat me within an inch of my immortal life. I was beyond pain...my poor body was a prison cell. Strips of flesh hung from my scourged back like macabre party favors, and Ville, one of Hana's henchmen, took great delight in rubbing salt into my wounds. What hurt the most were his words... Murderer. Liar. Faggot. Whore. Blasphemer. He took his pleasure from hurting me, and my screams were orgasmic to him. A crown of thorns was placed upon my head, and I bled as the briars pierced my flesh...I was starved, and I couldn't think straight. The morning before my crucifixion, I had no food or water. Ville beat me within an inch of my life, and his ring cut my face. I begged him to stop, and he spit on me...

All because I dared to declare myself the Son of God.

I prayed to Benediction to let Matthias remember his promise...I was so afraid of suffering...but Matty had been steadfast and true. He had given me the wine laced with belladonna, and had pierced my side to release the Godhead. As my legs were taken by the paralysis from the belladonna, he had laid me gently upon the cross and kissed me goodbye...his lips felt warm through the veil that was covering his face and protecting him from the deadly rays of the sun. The stakes were driven through my palms, then my feet...I took a last loving look at My Matty, and drew my last...

...Then Brian and Obadiah were there on either side of me in the darkness, and we were flying upwards, into the clouds...”
Lioness DeWinter, Corinthians

Dayton Hartman
“The kingdom of Christ is already here through his church. Our churches are outposts or embassies of Christ’s rule and reign. And yet we are still waiting for the return of the king with his kingdom in full.”
Dayton Hartman, Jesus Wins: The Good News of the End Times
