Carinheart,

The Black Death was also unprecedented, as were the gas chambers and the dropping of the atomic bomb, as was the Tsunami that killed tens of thousands several years ago.

The word in the Bible indeed is truth, however we need to be careful to not look at calamities and be made to conclude the end of the world is near. The world may end today. Or tomorrow. Or in ten, a hundred, a thousand, a million or a billion years. Who knows?

It is irrelevant.

Live like every day may be be your last. Love and honour God. Follow Him by loving others, preaching the Good News, praying, helping the poor and working for justice for the oppressed.

Do this and one day you will hear Him say "well done, thou good and faithful servant..." and it won't matter when the world ends.

Leave that up to God. He can handle it better than we can.

Just my 2 cents.

Knowledge about those things is not just limited to the Bible.
