The Bible does not give the time and the hour of the end because as it says nobody knows the time(day or hour not the angels in heaven nor the son of God(Jesus only the Father knows that(Mathew24:36; Mark13:32), but the things happening today the total caos as you put it it is part of a composite sign of the time coming when God puts an end to this caos. That time is fast aproaching now when Gods purpose for mankind will be realized

The Bible doesn't say when. Only to be prepared - coz the end of the world is definitely closer today than it was yesterday.
Jesus prophesied about certain events that would take place before the end comes - like earthquakes & famines. Geologists will confirm that there's definitely a rise in tectonic actvities, and we can see famines becoming more & more widespread partly due to climatic changes.
But the END will come when every tongue & tribe has been preached to about the Good News that the kingdom of God has come.
BTW, do you know that Jesus died for you, that only he Blood of Jesus can cleanse you from all sins? Have you accepted Jesus Chrsit as your personal Saviour? Please do, if you haven't.

It doesn't.
It prophesied "signs" that we can look out for to give us an indication that we are living in the time of the end.
Some of the conditions mentioned in these prophecies are wars, famines, earthquakes, men will be lover of themselves, haughty, blasphemers, and the list goes on.
There were no specific dates given - just a general time period referred to as "the time of the end" or "the last days".
Please read these scriptures in your own Bible.
They are just two of the many prophecies which parallel events today:
Matthew 24:3-14
2 Timothy 3:1-5
You will probably notice that these things are prevelant today - which draws to the conclusion that we are living in the time of the end. Soon this "world" will end.
This does NOT mean that the physical earth will be destroyed, but the earthly governments and wicked people in the earth will be destroyed.
God has no plans to destroy the earth. He plans for faithful, obedient, perfect human beings to enjoy eternal life on a paradise earth.
Please email me if you have any questions about my comment, I will be happy to explain.
EDIT:
The world has not always been in total chaos. Sure, it has always been in the "power of the wicked one" (Satan) but it has become noticeably worse in the past few hundred years because Satan realises that he only has a short time left before he will be destroyed, so he is "walking about like a roaring lion seeking to devour".
{ this means he is trying to turn as many people away from God as he possibly can before he is destroyed by God }
That is why it is so important to recognise Satan and his lures, and to turn away from them if we do not want to be destroyed along with Satan.
I hope this helps you.

It talks about it throughout the bible, but thats all the book of revelation is about. It talks about wars, and talks of wars, strange weather, and many other things. Alot of it has to do with isreal, and some of the stuff has already happend, then been undone.
One thing many forget about while talking about the end of days, is yes certain things have to happen, but they have to happen in a certain way and by certain ppl. It doesn't just happen. It also tells us that we will not know exactly when it will happen, it just will. And it tells us that many will predict the end, but will be wrong.
If you want to look into the subject yourself go to www.e-sword.net You can download the entire bible, including several different translations, and commentaries from many well know theologians to help you understand what you are reading. And its all free.

Jesus said no man knows the day or the hour that the world will end. Only the Father, God, knows. The Bible says be ready.
And yes, the world has always been in chaos....there have always been wars and natural disasters. Some worse than what we have ever seen.

The Bible doesn't say that and the world won't be ending any time soon.
The Book of Revelation has been totally misunderstood and is being taken too literally.
End of days, Apocalypse, Armageddon all refer to changes in our consciousness or a state of mind where we have overcome temptation. Ultimately we will be aware of God within us and within all creation.

It does not say when the world will end! It only says about the circumstances that will occur before Jesus returns! It may be that we are very close to this time now! It is never too early to prepare for it! Get right or get left!

This world will never end because the world never exists.
It's all a dream we are seeing through our naked eyes.
Peoples are coming and going on the stage.
Some are leaving their pugs and some are in hurry.
You and me are the only spectators waiting for the curtain to be wind up and coming of next lot of spectators.

As long as we have managed to colonise another planet, what does it matter when god decides the world is going to end..?
We'll all be sunning it up on a beach somewhere half way across the galaxy...
Imagine the look on his face when he turns up all booming voices, boiling seas and there's no-one there, it'll be a picture!
