Even the most unmotivated, and sometimes hostile, people will respond well to deadlines. On the other hand, even the most motivated and cooperative people may not always maintain their drive in the absence of deadlines. We don't know exactly when the kingdom of God will manifest. We only know that it's "at hand." Why not live our lives then as if the deadline is imminent? 2012 is as good a year as any to do that! I mean, isn't the world supposedly going to end in 2012? Just sayin'. Besides, this approach would be less risky than the opposite approach, which would be procrastinating and possibly being caught by a rather unpleasant surprise.
