Are these the end times?

Question

Are we living in the end times before Christ's return? I know that nobody knows the specific day or hour, but lets just see who thinks we are and who thinks we arent closest to Christ's return for His Church. Please provide any current evidence. This will be exciting!

Answer 1

BEASTS
In Dan.7:2-8 we have 4 great beast come up from the sea. Sea, that is peoples of the earth. The first 3 beasts co-exist when the 4th beast rises. The 1st beast is Great Britain and the United States. The 2nd beast is Russia and communism. The 3rd beast is camouflaged with spots. It has 4 heads or hidden dynasties. (PEER) Politics, Economy, Education, and Religion. 2 sets of wings which is media and communication. The 4th beast is the same as the beast of Rev.13:1-2. It is a one world system or new world order. This beast is still rising out of the sea. It will have 7 heads or dominions, 10 horns or leaders. Then will come up a little horn which is AntiChrist.

APOSTASY
In II Thes.2:3 there will be “a falling away” first, apostasia in Greek. This is defection from truth or divorcement from God.

PARABLE OF THE FIG TREE
In Matt.24:32-34 Mark 13:28-30 the generation which sees this fig shoot “set up” will not die until all these things be fulfilled. This happened when Israel became a nation again May 15, 1948. This coincides with the baby-boomer generation and they have Grey hair.

WHEN SHALL THESE THINGS BE
In Matt.24:3-8, Mark 13:5-8, Luke 21:8-11.
Many shall come in my name (authority) saying I am Christ (Christian) and shall deceive many.
The best example of this is the so-called Rapture. This is a LIE which can easily be disproved by God’s Word. Christ returns at the seventh trump.
Wars and rumors of war.
Nation shall rise (rouse from obscurity) against (along side) nation kingdom against (along side) kingdom.
The words “shall rise” (eg-i'-ro) in Greek means “rouse from obscurity”.
This word “against” (epi) in Greek means “along side” not in opposition to.
Since 1990 (30) new countries have emerged. We now have the global market place or the global community.
Famines. Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
This famine of hearing the words of the LORD is very apparent on TV. Maybe a verse or two then mans’ words for 20 minutes.
Pestilences. Aids, mad cow disease, bird flu and etc.
Earthquakes in diverse places.
This word “earthquakes” (seismos) in Greek means both “earthquake and tempest”.
Look at the hurricanes we have been having.
All these are the beginning of sorrows (birth pangs).
This word “sorrows” (odin) in Greek means “birth pangs of childbirth”.
The birth pangs of a new dispensation, and the contractions are getting closer together. The water may have broke during the tsunami of 2004.

SCOFFERS
II Pet.3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, II Pet.3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

PERILOUS TIMES
II Tim.3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. II Tim.3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, II Tim.3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

Answer 2

This is a very controversial subject, religion wise any how. But here it goes. I believe that as a Christian myself we are living in the end times. The Bible talks about the world will return to Noah's day and then Jesus will come to get His people. If you know your Bible, in Noah's day, there were corruptions everywhere. Violence and all kinds of troubles. I believe that we haven't seen nothing yet. Yes we have seen wars and hear rumors of wars (also biblical) and we have seen much violence and killing. We also have witnessed terrible destruction of the weather too. Although no one knows the day or hour or minute of Christ's return, I don't think it is as soon as what some Christians may think. We're in for some more hard times, and with hard times, we are also tested for our faith and strength in God.

I hope this was some what helpful!

Answer 4

Scientifically, and as per most religious books, the universe is vast and unfathomable. It can have life in someother planet or in stars in different form. If the life ends doesn't mean christ was busy in someother planet in someother form

You are living in a limited frequency (your understanding of light is in a frequency what your eyes can see, your understanding of sound is a limited frequency what your ears can hear like wise). We may be living with other beings which we are not able to see, touch, hear or feel around us. Probably more intelligent than us. Do not judge the universe and whole world with your limited knowledge. Nothing dies for ever. It dies to come back in a different form. Bible is not the only book in this world. Kindly read other books also.

Answer 5

God said in the Bible that the world will get worse right before the end. That there would be earthquakes and food shortages, sickness and death. And we can see that going on everywhere around us. We are living in the last days. Just look at the weather. Can you recall this many different disasters hitting so many different places so close together? If you truly want to know more go to www.watchtower.org there you will find more info on what the Bible really says what is going to happen to the Earth at Armageddon. What have you got to loose? It's worth taking a look at if you really want to know.

Answer 6

The "wars and rumors of wars" has incredibly a lot continually been with us - with international-huge media what that is now, per chance all of us comprehend extra right now now the great numbers of wars occurring each of the time. one aspect i imagine about notwithstanding is this. For Armageddon to ensue, both america of a has to stop to exist (now no longer conserving Israel) or it would want to flow over to the different part (being hostile to Israel). i imagine this is accessible that interior of about 30 or 40 years, Muslims as a collection might want to democratically (no, i'm no longer which skill Democrats) opt for a Muslim president and majority in both the domicile and the senate. would that be sufficient to set the degree for a seven 3 hundred and sixty 5 days peace treaty? possibly. between the previous answerers is ideal notwithstanding - we purely favor to be waiting in any respect cases. Jesus will go back with out be conscious.

Answer 7

The last days officially began the moment Christ died on the cross. That singular event marked the beginning of Satan's last days. As for the present earth's last days, there's no way of knowing until the day actually arrives. One thing's for sure, though, the day your earthly life comes to an end definitively marks your last day. For most of us, that's the day we need to be aware of, and be prepared to experience. If we're ready for that, we'll also be ready to meet Christ, if he decides to return during our lifetime.

Answer 9

yes we are all living in the end times.
all of the prophesies are being filled right now.
from the rising of gas prices, to poverty, to all the wars going on in the world, to the evilness, the murders, killings.
to all the false prophets, the confusion of religion, getting people to believe in god is harder these days, so much confusion, people finding it more difficult now to serve the lord & stay saved.
the end times are here, and yes: no one knows the exact day nor time the rapture will take place. that's why god says to be ready: to live each day as if it's our last.
life's like a vapor, here today & gone tomorrow.
either get right, or get left. only 2 choices to make & i pray everyone makes the right one.
