older angel/demon/demilich/what-have-you to younger one "Son, if you survive, remember..... of THIS happens it's NOT good."

angrily "Oh, just when you think things couldn't get ANY worse....."

"#%&U$$@#%$^, where the hell did those meteors come from?!?" (serious, throw this into the midst of a battle and you've got total chaos)

spoken by some elder being "This does not look good."

"The end of the world? I imagined it would be a little more..... ah, fiery." just then, something big and flaming hits the ground behind them, perhaps a fireball, meteor, burning house, burning forest, and sets everything in the vicinity on fire

OK, it's not that good but I tried.

Chesterton had a couple of good ones:

"A blood red sky over London and I knew then that the end was near."

"I really have no experience," he began.
"No one has any experience," said the other, "of the Battle of Armageddon."

Whilst recommending books I would point at Good Omens and go ohhh good book and about Armageddon. But I'm too busy thinking about Crowley, the angel who 'didn't so much fall as saunter vaugely downwards.'

Another final-battle type of book ispired by the bible is the last book in the Chronicles of Narnia, the final battle or something like that.

I've yet to read that one but the whole series has a close tie with biblicle symbology.

As was noted before...
Apacalyptic sounding phrases are wanted, not nessesarily actual quotes.

You can always fall back on Rock and Roll. A couple verses from Lemmy Kilmister:

Win or lose, naught to choose, all men are equal when their memory fades
No one knows, friends or foes, if Valhalla lies beyond the grave


and:

I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight

I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might

I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave

I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave

Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown

For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down.
