Is it about the unrest in the world, the earthquakes, wars, terrorist activity, etc, and the realisation we are in the last days? Or a deep longing and search to know God?
For Christians: Is it a closer walk with God, or a call to full time ministry? Please all share sincerely! Thankyou!

For me it has been learning more about that verse in Hebrews, I think it's 9:10 where it says, "for it is appointed for all men once to die and after that to face the judgment." The realization that there is a judment to come for believers not just the one of eternal damnation for those who have denied the truth and that everything that I have done is recorded. I will either stand embarrassed to see that my deeds have burned up because they were done in the flesh or I will have something to show for my life that will have pleased Him. These are very convicting and life changing considerations. I'm not judging anyone else in my beliefs, I'm strictly speaking of myself here. I have recently gained some clarity on what the Bible says happens at the time of death and about the judgments and it helps me understand that this is part of what it means to fear of the Lord and that is the beginning of wisdom. If my life is void of Him I can't have true wisdom. It's just amazing. I could go into more detail but to do so would take an essay.

The bible says "be ready at all times""for the lord will come in any hour". You have to remember through out history people always thought it was the end of the world. Durring ww1 and 2. We will never know when the end is near. Just live every day like its your last. Keep God close. If you have a fear of death, then you know something is not right with god. There will always be earthquakes, wars, terrorists, since the begining. Just know the lord and you wont have anything to worry.

God is trying to wake up people. He is the Almighty one, who controls everything. Sometimes God allows things to happen to bring us closer to Him. It is a test of our Faith. We should put our Faith, and Trust in the Lord. He will take care of us.

Honestly, all of the above. I am a Christian and I'm so glad because I definitely believe we are living in the last days.

The karmic lesson I seem to be stuck in the middle of at the moment has to do with not being afraid to speak my mind.
