Do you think we're in end times?

Question

Ok - we all know what the tribulation is. And, in my opinion, i think we're there. I dunno how soon is "Soon", so, i thought i'd ask somebody when they think the end will come - and what will be the one thing to send us there?

Answer 1

No, and we will never know. "The Kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; Nor will they say,' Lo, here it is!' or 'there!' for behold the Kingdom of God is in you."LUKE 17:20-21. The Kingdom will not come by watching for it. It will not be said, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there.' Rather the Kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and people do not see it."GOSPEL of THOMAS 63:33-64:9.

Answer 2

There are many "signs" that we are in the end times - in fact, St. Paul says it very clearly in his Epistles that the hour is late, and that we are living in the latter days. And that was almost 2,000 years ago. Perhaps we are closer now than we were before, but we cannot know if the final tribulation being asked about will occur 5 years from now or 500 years from now. And here's something to think about: what if it does come in, say the next 5 or 10 years, and what if we get knocked over by a bus and die just a few weeks from when it all starts? How will we be judged? By the way we lived our lives while we were here - not for what happened a few weeks after we died. So we should concentrate on our repentance and our salvation now, and not worry so much about the end times. They will come sure enough, and in God's own good time. In the meantime, each one of us has our very own personal "end time" to think about, so that thought can prompt us to work on our salvation.

Answer 3

End time, pretty scary stuff! It doesn't really matter if we live in
the end times or not. Christ teachings are simple to follow, We
shouldn't be worried, but we should be prepared! If you truly are born again, then you should be in ever preparedness for Christ's return, the Bible in the book of Daniel says Christ will return in
1335 days after the tribulation begins, roughly 3 and 1/2 years.
But before the tribulation, there will be wars and rumors of war.
And many shall come in the name of Christ claiming to be Christ.
The anti-christ will show up before Christ's return. They are not
him. Also look in your Bible and read Matthew17:27,28 and
Mark 9:2-13 and Luke 9:28-36 and 2Peter 1:17-18 these should help you to understand the tribulation. Also the Bible teaches us
there will be peace in all the world, except for Israel, the peace is a false peace. The Bible verses I mention to you, will tell you How
Christ will return, as to when? Please just be ready!

Answer 4

Yes, I believe we are at the finish line.. The last thing to happen in Revelations before rapture was the judgement of the Laodicean church.. They were spiritual and worldly and neither hot nor cold for the things of Christ..just as the world is today.. Our world is spiritual...but couldn' t care less about what Christ said or wants from us. The next item on the schedule is His return.

Keep an eye to the Middle East... And keep an eye on Revelations... Both are keys to rapture and the tribulation after.. Jesus said Himself He doesn't know the day or time which He will return, but to keep watching.

Answer 5

I believe we are VERY close, if not already in the tribulation. Nobody knows how soon it is, and they would be foolish to try to figure it out, God said no man knows the time or hour of Jesus' return. All we can do is live until He comes for us. and to do what He asks us to.
Keep a close eye on the news, things happen every day that prove the Revelations are happening

Answer 6

Ah....Revelations, again.

No, it's not the end of the world, yet; the sun is good for quite a long time.

Revelations was not written for us, but for the early Christians who were having trouble with Rome. It was a means to give them courage, and has no special message for us today, any more than it did in 1840 (look it up...a number of believers in Pennsylvania thinking it was the "End Times" waiting on a hill for God to come scoop them up).

Every so often, someone decides it's The End Times and a lot of books get written and sold, and a lot of made for TV movies get filmed, and thrills & chills are enjoyed by all.

It's not The End of the Earth, not for a long time. Relax.

Of course, if I'm wrong, I'll polish your halo for you! *wink*

Answer 7

I am not so sure that we're in the tribulation yet - it will become MUCH worse. I'm fairly certain that we are in the "Last Days" spoken of by Jesus in Matthew 24 (also located in other places in the Bible).

The one thing that will bring the end? The return of Christ will signify the end of this age and the beginning of a much happier time.

Answer 8

Yes, I do believe we have entered the end times, but we are not yet in the Great Tribulation. I don't know how long the "end times" will last, but many signs are already taking place.
The most important thing to remember in any time however is this-the safest place to be is in the will of God! So seek His will in these "end times" and He will keep you in His hands.

Answer 9

They have been saying that since people decided to believe in religions . I suppose anything that starts can end, but i dont think its going to happen any time soon, however our sun will burn out in about 300 million years they say. I dont think society is really any worse than it ever was, we just have more people and better communication. I suppose it will be the sun burning out, a commet smacking into us like killed the dinosaurs, or a lot of volcanoes and storms at once, or maybe nukes, if idiots get out of hand. Live as well as you can so you dont regret things in the end. and it wont matter when it ends.

Answer 10

Yes I do. In a sense. All the signs are there but how long to we have to go before the last sign? Is there a time reference somewhere that I don't know about?

They say you are dying from the moment of birth - so in a way - we have been living in the end times since time began

makes sense to me :-)

I think that neahna said it better than I ever could!
