Christians have obsessed over the "end times" revelations since those revelations were written down. We get glimpses of what those end times will look like from different scripture passages; the entire book of Revelations, 1 John 2:19-19, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, etc.
We humans cannot fathom God's Revelations and we put an earthly interpretation of these events. I think those human perspectives haven't scratched the surface of Scripture's end time prophesies or the understanding thereof.
Those who are one with God need not fear Biblical "end times." No human has actually figured out anything concerning Jesus' return in terms of a timeline and they should stop trying. Many have tried and all have failed. For me, I look at the ultimate battle, which will eventually come, in the outcome. God wins. GOD WINS! Hallelujah! Shouldn't that suffice?
Being steadfast and true to our Lord Jesus Christ and walking with the Holy Spirit should bring some semblance of solace and peace to our flawed existence. Sharing the love of Christ is our mission and living like Jesus is our goal.

This article does reference anything scriptural, but in 2012 there was a discussion about "barcoding" humans. DON'T TAKE THE MARK!
