We are in a period of endless wars, world division, unprecidented storms and earthquakes, open acceptance of all kinds of evil. I believe that what we are experiencing now will not be fixed by electing the right politicians nor by getting rid of or supporting the right "regime".
I believe that these times are our last call to (individually) get right with Christ, and, as Christ's Church, to support one another (Hebrews 10:25). It is so obvious that none will be without excuse when the day of Judgement comes.
What do you think?

Don't you think the worldwide information age that we live in leaves us all without excuse, thus making these difficult times VERY different from the ones before.

Yes, I do. Jesus's disciples asked him: " What will be the sign of your presence & of the conclusion of the system of things?" In reply he told them only God knew the exact time of the end of this system of things. (matthew 24:3) But he did foretell things that would take place on earth just before Kingdom would bring true peace and sercurity 2 mankind.
Nation will rise against nation & kingdom against kingdom , There will be food shortages,There will be great earthquakes,pestilences(matt 24:7), people would be lovers of themselves,money, disobedient 2 parents, disloyal, having no natural affection, without self-control, fierce, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God & havinf a form of godly devotion but proving false 2 its power. (2Tim3:1-5)
One British historian wrote: "The 20th century was the most murderous in all recorded history.....
So yes I do believe we are in the last days.

definitely as you said world division, unprecidented storms and earthquakes, open acceptance of all kinds of evil. I believe that what we are experiencing now will not be fixed by electing the right politicians nor by getting rid of or supporting the right "regime".
I believe that these times are our last call to (individually) get right with Christ, and, as Christ's Church, to support one another (Hebrews 10:25). It is so obvious that none will be without excuse when the day of Judgement comes. There is no doubt in my mind we are facing end of time.

I could agree, but recently I read "The Great Mortality," a very interesting book by John Kelly. It's a book about the Black Plague in Europe that destroyed up to a quarter of the known world population (the plague did, not the book)
It seems that in those days people were positive that the world was ending. There were constant wars, natural disasters that led to famine, and then of course was there was the Plague itself. For decades, people lived in unspeakable misery and then came the little know period that we call the Renaissance.
You never know. Maybe we'll destroy ourselves, but maybe we can manage to learn from all the nonsense the world is going through right now.

yes i believe so, In the bible it says when the children (JEWISH CHILDREN)are able to come back to the Holy land, the end times will start. As we all know about the war that is now happening, if Israel gains control of the holy piece of land that is the secred land, they will have control to start building the Holy Temple of God, And when that temple is done , it is to be the beging of the return of the Massiah...I have heard that that Piece of holy land is still under control of the palistainians... But if Iran and Syria comes to the Hazballoh aid...in the bible it is said that God will put his wrath against them. Did you hear about the book of Palsms being found. when it was found it was to have been opened on a Paslms 83 that read something like...for those that are trying to wipe out the land of Israel, will be taken out by wrath never like before. (in modern english...) that scared me straight for it to have been buried for so long, and to be found opend on that page, at this time of war..... Although I am a strong believer in Christ, and I know i have not led the life of a holy person, I just hope that We all can receive a second chance, because then we will know the truth, we would have heard and saw the great one himself...then no one will have an excuse....

I think that we live in the last days. More and more signs are coming to past. There are still many that haven't yet. So, the world won't end tomorrow. But, I personally think that it will happen sometime in "our" life time. Kinda scary isn't.
Oh, and it was the Mayan calendar that predicted that the world will end on December 12, 2012. hmm... 12 12 12 ? I don't know, anyways, this calendar has never been wrong at predicting solar eclipse and stuff like that. And it was created hundreds and hundreds of years ago. And... it just ends on 12/12/2012. That's scary.
Anyways... I think it's sometime soon. But not tomorrow or next week.

Personally I think that anyone that thinks a book written thousands of years ago and rewritten hundreds of times is the only way to go in insane. No, we are not in the end of times. No, God is not going to strike us down.
People bring this up all the time and yet nothing is different to make me think it is. WWII, not really any different than now. WWI same. Veitnam, same. Every year there are hurricanes and earthquakes. Sometimes more, sometimes less. If anything these are the result of global warming. Not some mythical God that you want to believe in.

Yes this are the lasts days I believe that because the Word describes it just like that, some people are waiting for 1000 years to come and stuff all that has past all ready. The world ended when Jesus died on the cross but know one belives that is ok too.

I agree with everything you've said. I wish I had a bumper sticker that says, "Beat the Rush -- Get Baptized NOW!" I really believe that everyone will get one last chance. Something really big will happen before the Rapture so that "Great Revival" will occur. Many, many people will believe it then, and there will be a rush to get baptized. Be an early bird, and do it now.

I'm pretty sure that many Christians have thought the end times were upon us for the last couple of centuries. I guess we'll see.
I assure you that the times right now are not worse than the Great Depression or WW II or the Vietnam Era.

Your question is an exciting one...more like this please....
