You are correct about that. Many people like to use the imagery in Revelation which does talk about the victory that Christians have to focus on one penultimate day or days prior to the judgement as sort of proof of God's existence and His power. There will be a final day in which God destroys the world, many have quoted those passages I think they missed out on II Peter 3:10-12 though which is another. But the victory Christians have is realized now because of the blood of Christ which covers us. Jesus defeated death so that we can have confidence and comfort in this life now and hereafter. Paul in Romans 8:1 states that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who have been baptized into His death.

So many people lack faith (Hebrews 11:1-3 for the definition of faith) and look to something tangible to prove God as if they need a continual reminder when Romans 1:20 states that from the creation of the world alone and what we see in nature proves God. But look at this excerpt from Hebrews which cements your point in polished granite.

Hebrews 11:35-40:

Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, [k]were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth. And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.

Are we to assume God forgot about these people? Why weren't they raptured? Or the thousands of Christians that died in the colosseum to lions and the sword while they chanted "He is risen." Times have been bad for Christians, times still are bad for them around the world but we all look to eternity not some faint wish to prove God is still here and watching, of course He is.

I do understand what you mean about "church" I'll tell you this...there are few that still follow the scriptures but they are out there. I pray in this great awakening that people not only wake up to the evil around us but that also all these fake, I call them "feel-good churches" fall by the wayside and people go back to the bible only.

I can already tell that you are a critical thinker and a thoughtful person. The bible is written at a 6th grade reading level, now are there some things hard to understand? Sure there are but as Peter says about Paul's writings...II Peter 3:16 - Peter says that Paul's writings are hard to understand which "untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures."

The key point there is "as they do also the rest of the Scriptures." The truth can be found out. I know many who read the bible for themselves because their family life was terrible and they needed a way out or they grew up Catholic, or baptist, or mormon etc. Anyway, I will pray for you either way brother. Sorry this was so long winded so... TLDR, you're right. lol.
