Question

In Islam, it is recommended to have many kids and offspring, but, the increase in population is also a sign of the coming of the day of judgement, so does this not contradict? A good command which represents the coming of bad days?

Answer

There is no contradiction.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
