You ever wake up some mornings and think, "Am I one of the 'left behind'? Could I have missed the rapture?"

So hear me out. What if we are in purgatory(I can’t spell it)?
Im not even catholic but I mean if we are completely honest a lot of life is really not great, and arguably hellish. Mean people, brutal heartbreaks, suffering everywhere, selfishness is innate, and evil people run the world. How many days go by where nothing bad happens even in your own small world?
I’m not saying I believe this but I am saying it’s an interesting idea.
I think it’s more likely we will enter a time of peace before some final tribulation that likely won’t be in our lifetime.
I also wonder if all the old lost civilizations go through the same thing. Basically it’s a multi thousand year cycle that happens so it isn’t just one “end of the world”
Purgatory seems to be a popular concept, but is unfortunately completely unsupported by scripture, especially since it advocates works-based salvation.
You are correct that the world can be quite hellish. But the current magnitude of evil and suffering in this world just goes to show how much worse the Tribulation and hell will be. The evils of this current world are at least somewhat restrained by the presence of the church and the grace of God.
The only previous/lost civilizations are whatever ones existed before Noah's Flood. That and the cities that were built before the rising sea level claimed them at the end of the post-Flood ice age.
