Why are you convinced that the apocalypse will happen during your lifetime? As you quoted Mateus, he also believed/hoped that it would come soon "Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened" Matthew 24:33-35
