The end times are important for the welfare of the world.
The book of Revelation is a warning to the world to get right with God, for He is going to end this sin business on earth when the world rebels against Him, so they will not go along with the world when they stop the truth in favor of the occult, and evolution, and people can still evolve, when the nations come together.
And a revealing of Jesus to the world, and they shall know that God is true, and He is Jesus Christ.
God said He identifies Himself as the one true God by showing us the end from the beginning, which He showed us the history of mankind, and what is going on today, and said no other religion, or person, can do the same.
So prophesy is good for proving the God of the Bible is true, and God told us what is going on today.
The Bible says save some with compassion, and save some with fear, which it might put fear in the hearts of some people if the saints can show what God said is going to happen, and they were on the path to destruction by following the world, and so they can avoid it.
We know we are in the end time, because God tells us of the new age movement that has a false interpretation of the Bible based on the occult, and evolution, and honoring the God of forces, or the power of nature as their higher power, and the new age movement will be in the latter times, and the time will come the world will only want to hear the Bible according to their interpretation, and will lead all people that do not love God to the beast kingdom in Revelation 13 where God will then put the wicked down.
Daniel said that he did not understand what was told him concerning what would occur at the end time, and was told to go his way for he could not understand it, for the book is sealed unto the time of the end.
For many will run to and fro, advanced travel, and knowledge shall be increased, advanced technology, which the book is unsealed at the time of the end, which means the saints can understand the book of Daniel, and the end time, for the saints can see, hear, and know what is going on all around the world, and how it is possible for the nations to come together which they rebel against God.
The end times are important because it is a great witness to the world to show them the word of God is true, and God is true, and to let them know to get right with God so they do not get caught up in following the world.
Some people are skeptical of the Bible, and prophesy is a good witness to show them that God is true.
If we can show them the God of the Bible is true there is more of a chance they will believe in Jesus.
Nah 2:3 The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
Nah 2:4 The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
Automobiles at the end time.
Isa 31:4 For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
Isa 31:5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.

Isa 41:25 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
Isa 41:26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.

God proves to us He is true, and we need to prove to people God is true by prophesy, and we probably have the best advantage using prophesy than at any other time in history.
