How do we know we are in the end times?

Question

People have been wrong before in the past thinking that they were in the end times. They never really had a definite sign.

Today however, there are signs that I think people are missing.

Sign 1: Can anyone can tell me when will terrorism end? The answer: when the terrorists get what they want. It is a growing religion within the muslim community fundamental terrorism and will not end. It will be controlled for a while but as it grows at the rate it does, soon it will be out of control. It says in the bible that people will come out of Magadon to make war. Magadon is believed to be the Middle East and muslim country.

Sign 2: The sun will scorch people. When do you think global warming will stop? Do you really think it will? UNLIKELY. Hence, being scorched by the sun is just around the corner - the next 50 - 100 years.

Sign 3: Earthquakes. Do you think we are heading for bigger earthquakes? The earth is overdue for a shift in molten activity.

Sign 4: Anti-Christ. There's the Georgia stones in Georgia in the USA. Like the 10 commandments the 1st says: Keep population under 1/4 of a billion. There is 6 billion on the planet.

Nobody knows who put the large stone plaques up or why, but it cost them a lot of money. It doesn't seem a joke to me. I think there are some people with plans and stuff unknown to the public.

If you have any more signs please put them down for people to see.

Thanks

Paul

Sign 5: The Mark of the beast: You don't have to be a bible decoder to understand what John was talking about when he said nobody can buy or sell without the mark. I has to have something to do with the economy. Has more and more people are accepting identity cards and terrorism is a growing threat, the idea of the mark of the beast is not an outrageous one.

The mark could be a chip that is used to be able to buy or sell things and have all your personal details on. It will stop terrorism, but someday the bible says it will be used by the beast - who is the anti-christ.

Seen has we are moving towards chips and internet shopping and technology is increasing and we are going down that line of identity cards - do you think this is just another coincidence or can anyone see it going in a different direction and the Christians are wrong once again. If you don't think its going this way then give a me a reason it isn't because all the signs seem to say it is.

Bare in mind - SOME THINGS ARE BEYOND COINCIDENCE. Seen has these are the best signs that have all come together since revelation was wrote - I'd say this is what Jesus meant when he said, "There will be signs of the end times".

Sign 6: Weapons: War is becoming more and more dangerous. Now we have nuclear weapons it looks like this is another potential sign.

Even if revelation was not wrote I would still conclude that we are living in times of uncertainty and I'm pretty much expecting the worse. Good job God's in control.

Peace.

Answer 1

Act 1:7 ...It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority...

You seem to have forgotten what Jesus said. The book (Revelation) you quote from is for our information, not for scheduling.

Answer 2

The Bible does not say that the earth population must be kept at or below a certain figure. There are only two ways terrorism will end. One is when all people accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, and the other is when God declares that 'time shall be no more.' Never heard of Magadon. Magog, where the final conflict between Israel and other nations will take place is in Israel. As for being in the 'end times', the Bible talks of wars and rumours of war. There are a lot of wars happening right now.

Answer 3

Yes I believe we are in the end times. There are more earthquakes now then ever before and in places where you would not expect time. Hurricanes are stronger then they use to be and the weather is changing from when I was a child 50 years ago. The earth is suppose to rock to and fro like a drunken man and that may be from a massive earthquake and the earth may also shift off its axis. It has before. Israel is being gathered as predicted and fighting there is never ending and will never until Jesus returns. Famine will come, as we have never seen it, so start your two-year food storage now. When you see two the prophets of the Lord preaching and predicting calamities as predicted in the bible you will know that the end is very near indeed. Those who turn their hearts away from God cannot see these things and say they have existed before but they have not as strongly as they do now. Religion is falling away and more people actually hate God and Jesus. I never realized this until I joined this site and saw so much of it here. I guess that is because I don’t know any of them personally. Those that have eyes let him see and those that have ears let him hear. May God bless us all.

Answer 4

No one can know or predict when the end times will come. Jesus didn't even know. "No one knows about the day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the father." So what's the point in even speculating. Only God knows.

" Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming I am he, and , THE TIME IS NEAR, Do not follow them. When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen First, but THE END WILL NOT COME RIGHT AWAY. Luke 21 8-9

As for the comment about sighs that people aren't recognising. Here's a scripture for you

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these things are the beginnings of birth pains. Matt 24 6-8

People have been saying that the time is near for a long time now. Do not be deceived. People will continue to say it probably until the time does come. The point is that if you don't know Jesus intimately, and hear his voice we will become deceived.

My point is really, not to worry about such things, as we will never know. Just make sure that you KNOW our Lord. The Bible also says that if God didn't cut time short even the elect would be deceived. Matt 24:22

It is the devils scheme in all of this to deceive us. Know our God and hear his voice, so you will not be deceived. When the final time comes is absolutely errilevent, it's just a way of the enemy to distract us and get our focus off God.

So from the scriputres here, we know that once the chaos starts, "the end will not come right away" and this is just "the beginning of birth pains" (labour can last an awful long time) It's fair to say that the end is probably not coming as soon as many think. Jesus makes it very clear Do not be deceived. The enemy want you to be all caught up in if this is the end or not, so that you believe in the antichrist when he comes. Again I encourage you to hear Gods voice and draw near to him, so that you will not be deceived.

Answer 5

Yes, the world's problems are almost overwhelming—and not just because of the wars and conflicts that grab the headlines. Every day, millions of people all over the world face a host of other disasters: famine, disease, economic chaos, racism, ecological and natural catastrophes, and so forth.

Do these mean Jesus' second coming is very near? It certainly may be, because He indicated that just before He comes again the world 's problems will increase. He declared, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places" (Matthew 24:7). While these problems are part of every age, the Bible says they will increase in intensity toward the end.
The only final answer to our problems is Jesus Christ, for when He comes again, He will rule the world with perfect justice and peace. In that day, the Bible says, "He will reign ... with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever" (Isaiah 9:7).

The Bible cautions us against trying to set the date for Jesus' second coming. But it also urges us to be ready and watchful "while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13). Are you ready for that day? You can be, by committing your life to Christ today.

Answer 6

A great answer would be a long one as well. Instead I'd like to say that these are the end times and we are now in the last 3 and 1/2 years.

Answer 7

People had been citing signs of End Times long ago. People are citing signs of End Times now. People will be citing signs of End Times in future as well. But the world will be there till its creator finally decide to end it.

Answer 8

The "end times" is one of the most overused and ridiculous examples of bible "prophecy." And, proves the bible is not prophetic. Prophecies cannot be interpreted hundreds of different ways and still claim to be prophecies.

There are no valid bible prophecies.
