Armageddon, Apocalypse, End of Times, 2nd Coming, The Judgment Day, etc., whatever term you calls it, will come whether you pray or not. The Holy Bible says only God knows when, shows no ACCURATE indication when, will come as a thief and catch the unprepared.
So there will still be certain events of indicators that will take place before He comes and here are some.
Unusual widespread preaching of Christianity, great heresy and apostasy, wars and rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, plague etc., the reign of AntiChrist or Lucifer in human form and the 2nd beast, extraordinary perturbations of nature and universal conflagration.
If the Scriptures (Revelation) says that the beast will require everyone to have the characters on the hand or they can't buy nor sell anything, doesn't it sound that the beast as a very intelligent high-tech oriented person consistent with the rate the current technologies are emerging and raging accross the world like Internet, email, paypal, online banking etc.?
If someone can post a brilliant idea pehaps you are the prophet of this generation.
May the grace and glory of Christ be among you, always and forever.
