Yes, it's natural for humans to look forward to desired anticipated future events, and from my reading I've seen that humans have over and over attempted to set a predicted date for the "End Times" and/or "Rapture". And time and again, the projected dates have quietly come and gone.

I think it's very important to not live in the future, this robs us of our power and distracts us from the most important moment, the Now. The past is just a memory, the future is just a dream. The Now is the only reality, it's when things actually happen. The Now is when we can find ourselves closer to God. So, I would propose to stay in the moment as much as possible.

Like the title of a great book I once read:

Be Here Now
