Psalms 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
[Last Day Events pp 29] In the annals of human history, the growth of nations, the rise and fall of empires, appear as if dependent on the will and prowess of man; the shaping of events seems, to a great degree to be determined by power, ambition, or caprice.

That is how serious the prophecy might turn out to be. We do not know for sure, but it is quite possible.
Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
