In the book of Revelation, God shows us what HE has planned for this present heaven and earth.
Revelation 8:1-6 And when HE had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
(With this the appointed wrath of God comes upon the whole earth and upon those who are still on this earth.)

In 2018, on Public Television, there aired a 3-part series concerning the projected volcano eruptions the scientists expect to come to Yellowstone National Park.
I watched in amazement their graphic projection of that which they expect and as I watched I saw many of the things God spells out for us concerning the wrath of God that is to come upon this heaven and earth.
Revelation 8
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
Revelation 9
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

In the TV show (American Experience: Volcano Eruptions of Yellowstone Park), the scientists had no concept they were showing many of the events described to come in future in Revelation when the wrath of God comes on this earth.
But as I saw the images, I remembered the plagues to come upon this earth. It was frightening to see. I kept hoping I would be accounted "worthy" to escape that which is coming upon this earth. For the TV show made all this very real.
Entire mountain on fire moved into the sea!
The sky became dark for a long period of time so plants could not grow and there was vast famine.
The waters were deadly due to the glass particles that erupted from the Volcano.
Great earthquakes came with the eruption.
The entire United States was covered with the deadly ash.
(Small particles of glass were ground up in that ash so humans and animals who breathed the ash had their lungs and inner parts sliced and they died.)
The scientists projected that we were not prepared for such events!
They were baffled as to what man could do to stop these things from happening. And how to prepare and survive? One suggested keeping a 5-year storage of water and food for the time this happens. Of course that, too, will be futile but man has to think there is something he can do.
I can't imagine how the scientists who know these things can live with what they know is coming when they do not know God.
We, who follow God through the scripture, have the hope that we will be taken out before these things come upon this earth.
I believe the portion of the church who clings to scripture, refusing to compromise scripture, will be removed before these events.
For the apostle Paul says: I Thessalonians 5:9-11 God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ (by scripture the Word), Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
II Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

The great danger for us is this: As time "drags" on and things keep going on as usual, we can become lax like nothing is going to happen.
Jesus warned us about this.
Matthew 24:49-51 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all His goods.
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
