How to politely tell a family member I'm not worried about the second coming of Christ? (self.exchristian)

My aunt is a wonderful lady, but she's very gullible. Thanks to a video she saw on Facebook, she now believes the conflict in Israel is a sign of the end times and is deeply concerned for my immortal soul. How do I politely let her know that while I appreciate her concern I have no real reason to believe that the Israeli government commiting war crimes against Palestine is going to bring about the second coming of Christ?

Strong words but if an actual god decided to punish you do you really think you could take a principled stance? Especially against a vengeful one?

Probably not. But luckily one such god doesn't exist. ;)
