Nobody who’s convinced the ship is going to be destroyed any minute is going to be any help bailing.
It put me in high gear, especially when I thought about all the people I know who don't have a clue about the times we live in.

True. We should stay with the ship as long as it’s a help to us. But, as with Paul, the time is coming when we will have thrown overboard everything we possibly can to weather the storm, and ride the ship to it’s destruction. Paul and those aboard survived because they didn’t leave the ship. The ship got them to safety as it dissolved in the battering waves and rocks. They had already gone through a long, seemingly endless storm, and believed that they were going to die.
The potential for worldwide destruction and chaos, is a reality that had not been possible just 60 years ago. As bad as WW2 was, there were areas of the earth untouched by that war. The ‘bomb’, along with missile technology, has changed that. With the amazing drones (and smaller, yet still lethal) being developed in recent years with artificial ‘intelligence’, there will soon be ‘no place to hide’.
“via satellite” has given the ability for people from around the world to witness the two dead prophets arise and ascend to heaven (per Revelation). ‘Telstar’ was the beginning of this capability.
Until the steam engine came along, the previous centuries were, technologically, almost the same. Walk or ride a beast; row or let the wind blow. We truly live in a time like no other before us.
