"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." - James 4:14 KJV [“How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.]

It is not a question of when will the rapture come – “I want to be ready” – we must be ready at all times, because we do not know when our own last moment in our life will come.

"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." - James 4:17 KJV [Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.] (Luke 12:47).
