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.

The end time is getting "nearer".
It's been getting "nearer" since the beginning of time itself.
Of course, how SOON it gets here is a matter of what WE AS A PEOPLE DO ABOUT IT. I don't expect most people to understand that, but heck I'll throw it out there anyways. Yeah, we actually have control of the happenings in this world, we just have to get up off our butts and do something about it.

No, I do not think "the end time" is getting nearer. The "signs" people use to justify the end are universal human phenomena: war, strife, division. Revelation is an allegory for Christian living, not a history of how the end is going to happen.

Perhaps, if the time of the end is day, not days.
Seems to me we all are now in the third "day".
Last "days" was 1->2000AD...was peril us times.
Last "day" (beyond 2000AD)...is resurrection time
Especially if "third day" also the seventh, if counting.

Funny thing, in my Bible, in Luke 21:8,
Deceivers say: "the time draweth near".
I wonder what time they sayers mean?
Interesting thing is, in June of 1967,
two globe-all graphs did "shoot forth",
as if both were "run"-ing unto the end,
perhaps unto "their end" of the human "race".
"Their end" shall be according to "their works".
Not allow'd to continue(race), by reason of death.
However, in my Holy Bible there is only one end,
and the end to endure unto ends well for you all;
But the "you all" thereof notably begins with "you".
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ WITH YOU ALL. AMEN.
(so perhaps the LAW of yer God & Jesus is AGAINST you all)

A great leader (messiah) will arise when we are well on the way to peace on earth and justice for all. Not any time soon IMHO.

For heaven's sake, think about what you can accomplish by living not about dying. Be a decent human being. Help others. You have only one life to live. Do the best you can with it.

Sure, the earth is getting closer to destruction day by day but I believe the sun will burn out in a few billion years so you shouldn't worry about it too much..
