Just think: if he's right he'll be able to brag, like Buzz, "Toldya! Toldya!" Or will he ...? And if he's wrong will anyone give a shit?

Pretty wild stuff. Revelation 8 New International Version (NIV) The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer 8 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake. The Trumpets 6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them. 7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. 8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. 10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11 the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”

I don't sit awake worrying - I am more a Matthew's Jesus kind of guy.
Matthew 6:34 Jesus speaking "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own".

I agree with fat. But you are looking in the right place for answers, pim. If you examine the prophetic books, you'll see a lot of that is beginning to come to pass. Such as: the Dead sea curse ending as recorded in Ezekiel.
But we won't die until all of our days are counted, and when they are, there is little we can do to fix it.

Tell me something, with the coronavirus to what extent will it affect international mass travel? There’s a cruise ship sitting in Yokohama harbour with 3000 passengers who have been effectively quarantined, turning the ship into a plague ship. As for international air travel so far it’s affected flights to and from China but with cases springing up on all continents I could envisage an emergency in which all international travel is suspended.
The bushfires have been described, and not by religious people, as “apocalyptic”. And now this virus. I’ve had enough “apocalypse” for one year. And it’s only February!

If I understand the Bible correctly, it's about to get much worse. Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this: The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceeded fire, smoke, and sulfur. 18A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and brimstone that proceeded from their mouths. 19For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails were like snakes, having heads with which to inflict harm.… Revelation 9:17-19
