believe it
Now as He [that’s Jesus] sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, ‘Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered and said to them: ‘Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.”
Matthew 24:3-7
People say we always have had wars and famine but read on
“All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
Matthew 24:8
The word Jesus uses for sorrows is the word “odin” which translated means contractions or labor pains.
The closer the contractions the sooner the arrival
What are the three areas that Jesus said to watch out for?
Religious world
Political world
Natural world
Religious World:
It is estimated that about 1000 people in America alone claim they are Jesus
Political World:
In the 20th century over 200 million people died as a result of war
There are 38 armed conflicts going on in 28 nations
Terrorist attacks in 2003 totaled 175. It rose to 655 in 2004
Natural World
Almost 1/6 of the world’s population can’t meet basic nutritional needs
Pestilence- AIDS, SARS, Bird Flu, Mad Cow Disease, West Nile Virus
The Hurricanes of the past few yrs
In the first 1500 yrs after Jesus the earth averaged about 2 major earthquakes each century
But it made a dramatic increase over the next 4 centurites until it reached about 130 in the 1900s
I believe it.

Yes, I do. I've felt very strongly for the last 20 years that I would see, and will need to survive through, some vague Armageddon type of event in my lifetime. I don't feel safe unless I'm living in a home with a "fortress-able" basement, and I have a need to have several months worth of bottled water and canned food stored away. The news terrifies me. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but this feels right to me.

I've been getting that feeling for about a year now...
It's really setting in.
Things are getting more and more chaotic by the day.
Everything is nearing an end..Even some other religions (not just christians) agree that the end is really close.

I don't "feel" it, I know it. The Gentile times ended in 1914 and since then, Satan has been confined to the earth. God has allowed this to happen so that his rightful rule will no longer be challenged by humans or angels. It has been proven. Now, he is just gathering in the meek ones who will accept his rulership. Soon, he will close the door as he did on the ark.

Why do you always ask these questions only God the Father knows. We will have signs and some could happen but it's all God's planning. We be inches from one of the end signs but God holds it back for years and years no one knows but God

Lots of people think so. I don't. Jesus said when we see
what we are seeing now, it's just "the beginning of sorrows."
We haven't seen nothing yet!
I'd say at least 15 more years.

Though we are told that no man knows the day or the hour, we are assured of one thing:
It's nearer today than it was yesterday.
