Jesus came saying "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand"
and the Apostles declared the same, and said "in these last days" already when they were still on earth.

Jesus also pronounce "Woe to you.... " to many as the Father directed Him.

Today, "Repent" may even be more 'urgent' message (if that's possible to be more urgent than before),
and
(or?) who will hear 'repent' and who will hear 'woe' ? (Read Revelation as Yhwh permits) at the very door ... ...
(the woes are indescribably 'final' for many, and very widespread(world wide destruction and death)..)


Revelation 11:14

Amplified Bible (AMP)
14 The second woe (calamity) has passed; now the third woe is speedily to come.
 
Amos 5:18

18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord!
to what end is it for you?
the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
 
Jeremiah 45:4-5
Amplified Bible (AMP)


4 Say this to him: The Lord speaks thus: Behold, what I have built I will break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up—and this means the whole land.


5 And should you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not; for behold
, I will bring evil upon all flesh, says the Lord, but your life I will give to you [as your only booty and] as a [snatched] prize of war wherever you go.


Footnotes:
  1. Jeremiah 45:5 Baruch plays a role familiar in normal human life today—that of having to take second place, having to play second fiddle. He was of high birth; his grandfather Maaseiah was governor of Jerusalem in the days of King Josiah (II Chron. 34:8). Considering all that Baruch was doing to make Jeremiah’s prophecies permanent by recording them for posterity, it is not surprising that he seems to have expected to share the prophet’s rewards. “To play a prominent part in the impending crisis, to be the hero of a national revival, to gain the favor of the conqueror he announced,” seems to have been his high ideal, his glorious dream. When its realization was denied him, “he sank in despair at the seeming fruitlessness of his efforts” (Sir William Smith, A Dictionary of the Bible).

  2. Yet Baruch is an excellent illustration of how little the gift of prophecy depended on men, and

  3. how completely it remained for God to grant or deny prominence and recognition

  4. to His perhaps equally deserving servants. But each man’s eternal rewards are proportioned according to his faithfulness, and not according to his earthly recognition or the lack of it (Matt. 25:14-30).
 
It will be a day of darkness as many desire the day of the Lord, but are not prepared for when it comes as when the light (Jesus) comes their woe will be the darkness (lake of Fire) as they never truly were made righteous by that of Gods righteousness.
