Amen, and yes - it will happen as you said, because that is what God has told us through His Word.
I am continually amazed and dismayed by the rhetoric of some that pointing out End Times prophecy (that God told us about) is someone an "attempt" to "hasten" God's return, and that "Christians hope for death and destruction so they can get their fantasy ticket." How foolish. First, how ridiculous that we mortals could tell God what to do and when to do it. We can delay or removed God's impending judgment if we turn from sin (as in Jonah's message), but ultimately the decision is God's alone. Secondly, God told us to keep looking up! That is what we are to do.
