well, i firmly believe that this is coming very soon and the impending collapse of the earth's magnetic field and the disasters that will ensue really is within our lifetime, and you can't get that information without reading apocrypha and other science including archaeology, geological and astrophysical scientific research, and even UFO contact accounts

if He isn't coming soon, we are all gone anyway, if we didn't do our research and position ourselves for surviving the ocean washing away the land all again, and you know that The Lord promised that there would never again befall His people such an event way back as Noah landed the ark on the first patch of dry land, you really should read The Book of Enoch for more detail on that story too, enoch appears in The Book of Jubilees as well and the provenance of the text dates it as at least as old as the rest of the Old Testhament

maybe i've got a bit of an odd, scientific version of christianity... the Mormons also have some funny stuff in there that hints at the idea of advanced technology and they make some interesting prescriptions that could not have been understood until the appearance of modern chemistry

anyway, as you well know, it says repeatedly all over the place that as the time nears the seals are opened
