is the end nigh?

Question

A question for both religious and non-religious answerers. What kind of future do you think we have given the environmental problems and the degenerating political situation in the middle east?

Answer 1

Of course not.

Really folks. There have been a lot of questions along these lines lately. We are very very likely facing tough times ahead as we come to terms with global warming, a really massive extinction event and the end of fossil fuels. However I also think you who ask this question have no concept of how resilient life really is, and that includes human life.

Consider the disaster that ended the dinosaurs. That was a very much worse event than we are currently facing. A six mile diameter asteroid hit part of Mexico and released as much energy as 100 million nuclear bombs. It first lit most of the planet on fire and then blocked the sun for several years causing nearly every animal larger than a dog to starve to death over then entire world. And yet it was not the end. Life is very difficult to extinguish so buck up.

At the very worst civilization might fail, but I think even that is extremely unlikely. Things will change no doubt but we will prevail.

Answer 2

Matthew 24 states all the signs of the end of time and most of them are occurring as we speak. The end is not yet, however, because the Antichrist has not made his appearance. He will be so charismatic that the world will follow him and worship him as god. As for as the environmental problems, those are also dealt with, I believe, in the Bible in Revelation. The first 7 plagues, in my humble opinion, are from nature. The second 7 are from ourselves (I believe a nuclear bomb is described) and the last plagues are from God Himself because he comes forward in heaven to watch them. The end is near - yes - but not today.

Answer 3

If you believe the official version, this only affects those in the "collatoral damage" category (and our leaders and scientists have most of the answers to climate change etc). Unfortunately, this is already the case for millions and no-one is keeping count.

I'm afraid that this is going to affect all of us eventually - even the armchair rambos and those with their heads in the sand (or between their legs).

We all have to die sooner or later, whether we believe in one god or not, and that REALLY is the end. The only problem is going to be if we are not prepared for what is happening to this world or the next.

Answer 4

Things will change for sure:

Those who have been around for a long time will say the changes are bad. Those in power will say the changes are necessary and good for you. The young wont know any different. The poor will suffer the most. The rich will ask "what change?"

The same questions and answers were around centuries ago.

Answer 5

Don-t want much do you? Come on there are far too many questions there and nowhere near enough space to give a simple answer!

Answer 6

I believe the end will not come from the enviorment but a country like North Korea will nuke us.

Answer 7

FOR ANSWERS ON END TIMES, READ REVELATION.
AND THE OLD PROPHET'S LIKE DANIEL. WE ARE IN THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES AND THAT WILL SOON BE OVER. JESUS CHRIST WILL COME AGAIN TO TAKE HIS PEOPLE HOME.
ONLY WAY IS BY GOD'S GRACE, TO BE SAVED BY HIS SON JESUS CHRIST WHO DIED FOR YOUR SINS AND MINE. WHEN THE END TIME COMES MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON THE VICTORY SIDE (GODS)
