I believe we are in the last days. And we are one day further into it than we were yesterday. We need to prepare our hearts and minds for those things coming. The uncertainty, the earthquakes, the famines, the diseases----
God Bless....thanks for asking the question

Many claim that there will be signs but Jesus said in the New Testament that of that day and hour no one knows.
Matthew 24 & Mark 13, the Sermon on the Mount, 'there will be signs in the sky, wars and rumors of war, etc.' and finally, 'I solemnly assure you, this generation will not pass away before these thing come to pass...' is speaking of the destruction of the Temple in Jersalem and the end of Judah as a nation, not the end of the world.
Evangelists have for generations been trying to explain what Jesus meant when He said "this generation will not pass..." A generation is 33 years. Historically a generation did pass when Judah found herself surrounded by enemies on all sides, their temple was destroyed (by the Romans who tired of their revolutions), all the men were killed, and the children and women of Judah were dispersed throughout the world.
This was a generation after Jesus was rejected by his people as Messiah and Crucified. To understand how Jesus was speaking of the destruction of the temple and not the end of the world, start reading from the previous chapter where Jesus finds his disciples admiring the Temple in Jersalem. He says to them, "I solemnly assure you, not one stone will be left upon another..." then they moved to the Mount of Olives where Jesus begins his famous discourse which many believe speaks of the end of the world. He is still talking about the destruction of the Temple and the end of Judah as a nation, not the end of the world.
Generally speaking, the Bible tells of a 'change' rather than the end of the world. "The sky will roll up like a scroll and there will be a new Heaven and a New Jerusalem..."

we shouldnt be concerned about when...
we should be more concerned about how are hearts are and what we are doing when it happens... its harvest time!
however, i believe the biggest lie we all (both the lost and found) are believing is that there is no urgency... we need to be prepared NOW!
God bless :)

I doesn't matter actually.
The most important thing is, we must be ready all the time.
