Probably not. If you are Christian then you believe what Christ tells us will happen. And a slow fade into nothing is not what he has in store.
There will be chaos, suffering, evil taking over the entire world. Then Christ comes again, but he won't slip in the back door. He told us that he will return and every eye will see him.It will be loud (as a trumpet).
He will return on a cloud. You won't miss it. Everyone on the earth will know.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
