If they were actual Biblical literalists, they would know that the world ended in 1844. That's when the Torah, Bible, and Quran all pointed to, calling the guy three different things. There was a pair of guys that never met each other, who fulfilled those prophecies and everyone ignored them, or completely missed it, just like what was predicted. World ended, we have a completely different world now and we need to figure out how to not mess it up.

Not the first time one could argue that the world ended either. The Green Sahara period ended within a century or two of the Bronze Age Collapse. I'm not entirely certain that the one didn't kick off the other. I am certain that is why the Torah was written, and why apocalyptic Jews, such as John The Baptist, existed in the first place. I'm also pretty certain that's what caused some of the apocalyptic shit to trickle into the new testament and Quran, later.
