do you think it is the end of time ?

Question

I have heard this all my life it seems what the bible predicts has always been happening well I have wondered about the end of time now people say it is here for sure now any proof? thank you

Answer 1

I believe so and this is why.

First, it doesn't come suddenly.

Second, WWI & WWII are strait from the horseman of war in Revelation.

Third, the great slaughter of innocent children by abortion is a sign just as it was before the coming of Moses and Jesus.

Fourth, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 talks about errror and erroneous ideas being spread. This is being done at a phenominal rate and is perpetrated by much of the media.

Fifth, in Revelation ch 11 it speaks of a woman clothed with the sun and a crown of 12 stars above. In Fatima, Portugal there was a "miracle of the sun" in which 3 children received a vision from Mary that was prophetic concerning world events after 1917.

I am sure there are other signs but I feel these are the most relevant signs of the end times.

Answer 2

Matt 24:3 Jesus disciples asked him pretty much the same question. Look at verses 7-14 they describe the things we will see as this wicked world draws to its conclusion.
We can look around us daily and see these things. Think also about all the natural disaster we have seen world wide just in the last few years.
Wickedness has continued to escalate. I am only 32 but I can remember a time when divorces were rare, homosexuality was something hid not proclaimed. The schools becoming war zones was not even considered.
There is no doubt we are in the last days. All the Bible prophecies concerning these last days and Armageddon have been fulfilled except for the one concerning government turning on religion. With the war the US in involved in now and religion being at the base of that it shouldn't be to long until that happens. When that does happen then Armageddon will be here.
The things the Bible says we should look for in the last days have been here awhile but have there severity stayed the same or are they getting increasingly worse? Each year more wars, more violence, more drugs, more murders, more rapes, more child abuse, more abortions, more children showing little or no respect. These may be problems that have been around a while but have they always been so severe?

Answer 3

Yes, I do believe it is the time of the end because the Bible foretold events of the last days. Yes, some of the things were occurring for a long time, but never like this in the 20th Century and this 21st Century.
Jesus explained a sign of the last days. Notice, the scripture at Matthew chapter 24 says "sign" not signs. One of the things recorded in that chapter would not indicate the time of the end. But all of things together would make up a composite sign that the last days are here. Also, what I'd like to mention before taking a look at the sign of the last days, that this does not mean doom for all of mankind and for the earth. In the Bible Jehovah God promises to make the earth a paradise where only righteous people will live. (Psalm 37:29) The last days mean the last days of wickedness and last days for wicked people. (Psalm 37:9,10) Proverbs 2:22 says: "As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it". Even Satan and his demons will no longer be able to mislead the nations. They will be thrown into an abyss, no longer able to have any power over those left on the earth. (Revelation 20:1-3)

These are the features of the last days, as foretold in the Bible.
Wars --Matthew 24:6,7
Food Shortages --- Matthew 24:7
Earthquakes --- Matthew 24:7
Pestilences (Diseases) -- Luke 21:11
Increasing Lawlessness -- Matthew 24:12
Ruining of the earth --- Revelation 11:18

People would be:
Lovers of themselves---2 Timothy 3:2
Lovers of money---2Timothy 3:2
Haughty---2 Timothy 3:2
Disobedient to parents --2 Timothy 3:2
Unthankful---2 Timothy 3:2
Disloyal-- 2 Timothy 3:2
Lacking Natural Affection --- 2 Timothy 3:3
Without self-control --2 Timothy 3:3
Fierce---2 Timothy 3:3
Lovers of pleasures ---2 Timothy 3:4
Religious hypocrites ---2 Timothy 3:5

All of the above are parts of the sign of the last days. Yes, these things have been happening since humankind was imperfect, however, never like this before, on a worldwide scale and at such a severe extent.

Another thing to mention is at 2 Peter 3:3,4, there would also be people who would say things have always been this way, but they haven't, not to such an extent. These truly are the last days as the Bible gives evidence of.
2 Peter 3:3,4 says: "For you know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires and saying: "Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation's beginning."

On the other hand, the Bible also foretold how to tell who God's true worshippers were:
Daniel 12:4 showed that they would possess abundant knowledge about the Bible and God's Will
and
Matthew 24:14 shows that true worshippers would be preaching the good news worldwide. That verse says: "And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations and then the end will come."

Answer 4

In my lifetime, I have already survived 3 ends of the world. Year 2000 hype, Nostradamus, Mayan Calendar. I know all of these are not the Bible but it also doesn't stop there. It has been my experience that every generation seems to think theirs is the last. We can look back in history and read the accounts of people convinced as the bombs dropped, or as the plague swept the lands, that to them, it was seen as the end times, the devil come to take his due. I know there will eventually be an ends to this world, that is a certainty as all things in the Universe are temporal, ever shifting, ever changing, ever living, ever dying. I suspect when the fateful hour arrives, it will more likely come in some form we never imagined. After all, there are only a handful of the obvious possibilities of our final demise that we can even imagine. The universe is filled with certainly 100's of thousands, maybe millions, even probably to consider billions to trillions of unimagined forms of our annihilation. This may sound like a negative perception but consider this. We are spin on our axis at 1000 miles per hour. We are traveling around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour, and the sun, with us in tow, is speeding through the space at almost 500,000 miles per hour. The fact that we are not all pancakes with those kind of G forces in play. The fact that we are all not just hold on to the planet by our fingernails screaming as we careen through the unknown. The fact that with all of these things considered, that we get the chance to consider our fate, is in and of itself... amazing! For this reason I choose not to label the form and time of mine, nor your demise. It shall inevitably find us. For this reason I choose to ponder my life, not my death. To recognize the fact that I am hear at all, a cognoscente, intelligent, emotional, spiritual being, is all the miracle I need to know I am blessed. Always make the best of the limited time you have mere mortals, least we fail to see the beauty we were gifted... by what ever means.

Answer 5

I think it could be, and I have wondered about that myself, too. But even if it is, if you have a true relationship with God and his Son, Jesus, and not just a bunch of meaninless rituals, then you'll be saved. "For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" That's in the Bible. It's true, so just have faith. People have thought it was the end of the world for over 2,000 years. We don't know when it's coming, and when people say they know, it's an illusion. Read the Bible, pray, and let God save you.You know the person who said stop going to work? Well in the Bible people started doing that, and it was then explained that you shouldn't stop going to work or things like that. Just be ready. Jesus could come back at any second. I used to be really scared about the whole end of the world, but God's been helping me. Try listening to Mark Shultz. His songs help me. They're Christian songs.

Answer 6

First off it is not the end of time it is the end of the age. The Greek word is actually Aion and literally means age. There is no biblical prediction of the end of time or of the world but simply of the age. The prediction are in the book of Daniel and Revelations and they were all fulfilled in the history of the Roman empire. Nothing remains but the return of the Messiah and the beginning of the new Aion.

Answer 7

Have you ever noticed when a religion predicts the end of times it always inevitably fails? Then people move on. I am not sure why people didn't move on when the gospels predicted it, but no, the world will not be ending any time soon.

Answer 8

Very nearly. There are many cultures around the world that have end times scenarios, and I hve noticed that there is a great deal of similarity between them, even though they could NOT have had any contact at the time that those prophesies came into being. I have also noticed a great many of the things that have been prophesised ahve come to pass or are in the process of coming about....

Answer 9

No, time is an illusion, a device that we use to try to control our lives. More than this, humankind has more positive qualities than negative. There are black holes in the universe (which may lead to another dimension) but there is more light. This is also within us. Therefore to despair is pointless. However, do not be passive, think what we/you can do to change things for the better.

Answer 10

Harpazo = Rapture

END-TIME BIBLE PROPHECY

The Messiah Lord Jesus said BIRTH PANGS would signal the time of the end (Matthew 24:8). There are NINE birth pangs, they are all PRE-TRIBULATIONAL and the 1st three already occurred.

The first birth pang was worldwide conflict coupled with famines and earthquakes (Matthew 24:7-8). Worldwide conflict was fulfilled in 1914-1918, major famines happened in 1918-1921 and most of the world’s major earthquakes began to occur since 1900.

The second birth pang was the restoration of a Jewish State (Ezekiel 20:33-38; Ezekiel 22:17-22; Ezekiel 36:22-24; Zephaniah 2:1-2). This was fulfilled in 1948.

The third birth pang was Jewish control of the Old City of Jerusalem (Revelation 11:1-2). For the third Jewish Temple (Tribulation Temple) to be rebuilt, Jerusalem needs to be under Jewish control and this was accomplished in the Six Day War in 1967.

The fourth birth pang will be the Ezekiel 38 war. Russia, allied states of Iran, Ethiopia, Somalia, Germany and Armenia will invade Israel. God will miraculously destroy the invading army by earthquake, civil war among the invading soldiers, pestilence, blood, flood, hailstones, fire and brimstone. This will bring a revival in Israel where many Jews will turn to the Lord, and Israel will spend 7 years and 7 months burying the bodies and burning for fuel the military equipment left behind (Ezekiel 39:9-16).

The 5th birth pang will be the development of a one world government (Daniel 7:23-24).

The 6th birth pang will be the splitting of the one world government into 10 kingdoms and this Ten Kingdom Stage will continue until mid-Tribulation (Daniel 7:24).

The 7th birth pang will be the revelation of the Antichrist (II Thessalonians 2:1-3; Daniel 7:24).

The 8th birth pang will be a period of peace and false security that will be shattered by the Tribulation (1 Thessalonians 5:1-3).

The 9th and final birth pang before the Tribulation is the signing of the 7-year covenant between Israel and the Antichrist. THIS EVENT IS WHAT BEGINS THE (7-year) TRIBULATION - NOT THE RAPTURE!

The Rapture of the Church (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) is also a pre-tribulational event (Luke 21:34-37; 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10; Revelation 3:10; Revelation 19:6-8). The fact that the Church is not mentioned in any of the Tribulation Scriptures proves the Rapture is pre-tribulational. All raptured Christians will receive glorified bodies (Romans 8:22-23; 1 Corinthians 15:50-54)) and it can happen at any second.


THE FIRST HALF OF THE TRIBULATION (SUPPORTING VERSES IN REVELATION 6-9 AND 17)

The Ministry of 144,000 sealed Jewish believers will bring many throughout the world to accept Christ.

There will be a powerful Ministry of Two Witnesses who will also be anointed Jewish believers.

A one world religious system (Babylon the Harlot) will rule. Under this one world religious system, many who are saved during the Tribulation will suffer persecution and death.

The Political system of the 10 kings of the one world government will continue.

During the first half of the Tribulation there will also be war, worldwide famine, death (1/4 of the world’s population will die), a huge earthquake, a blackout and a meteor shower. 1/3 of earth’s dry surface will be destroyed, 1/3 sea life and salt water will be destroyed, a fallen angel called Wormwood will make 1/3 of earth’s fresh water bitter, 1/3 of earth’s natural light sources will be destroyed, there will be another blackout and demons in the form of “locust-scorpions” will come up out of the abyss led by Abaddon their king and they will inflict harm and pain for five months upon those who are not sealed by God (unbelievers). Another demonic invasion will occur and the demons involved will be led by four fallen angels who will be released from the Euphrates River and this army will kill 1/3 of the earth’s population.


MID-TRIBULATION (SUPPORTING VERSES IN REVELATION 10-14 AND 17)

The Antichrist will war against the 10 kings, and during the war the Antichrist will be killed.

Satan will be cast out of the atmospheric heavens onto earth and will resurrect the Antichrist.

The Antichrist will kill 3 kings (the kings of Syria, Egypt and Mesopotamia) and the 7 other kings will submit to him.

The Antichrist will kill the Two Witnesses in Jerusalem and the wicked people will celebrate this event. Three and a half days afterwards, God will resurrect the Two Witnesses and take them up to Heaven and the people who celebrated will become terrified. The city of Jerusalem where the murder of the Two Witnesses occurred will then suffer an earthquake which will kill 7,000 people.

The False Prophet will receive from Satan the power to perform great miracles and will deceive many. The False Prophet will command all people to worship the Antichrist and have persons create an image to the Antichrist. The False Prophet will use his satanic powers to give it life and the ability to speak. The False Prophet will cause those who refuse to worship the Antichrist and the image to be killed.

The False Prophet will issue his own counterfeit seal known as the Mark of the Beast and it will be placed on all those who surrender to the Antichrist’s authority and accept him as god. Those who refuse to take this mark will not be able to buy or sell. Those who take this mark will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire.

The Antichrist will break the seven-year covenant he made with Israel, cause the sacrifices to stop, sit in the Jewish Temple, declare to the world that he is really God and set up an idol called the Abomination of Desolation in the Temple (Daniel 9:27; Daniel 12:11; Matthew 24:15-16; 11Thessalonians 2:3-4; Revelation 13:11-15).

Through the Antichrist and the False Prophet, Satan will attempt to destroy the Jews once and for all but he will fail because 1/3 of the Jews will succeed in fleeing into the wilderness. These Jews who escape will accept the Lord Jesus as their Saviour during the Tribulation (Zechariah 13:7-9) and while they are in hiding, God will miraculously provide for them (Zechariah 13:8-9; Isaiah 41:17-20). Divine intervention will also destroy the pursuing army.


THE SECOND HALF OF THE TRIBULATION (SUPPORTING VERSES FOUND IN REVELATION 15, 16, 18, 19, 20)

In the second half of the Tribulation, those with the Mark of the Beast will suffer skin sores, the remainder of sea water and fresh water will be destroyed, the sun will cause terrible burns and the wicked will blaspheme God. There will be yet another blackout and persons will suffer gnawing pains.

Babylon will be the center of world economy and political system but Babylon will be swiftly destroyed by fire and become uninhabitable for man.

The Antichrist will locate the Jews who sought refuge in the wilderness and surround them with his armies to wipe them out. The Lord Jesus will then descend from Heaven with His angels and Saints. He will come with great glory riding upon a horse and will destroy the Antichrist, the False Prophet and all of their armies. After this, a loud voice will cry out “It is done!” followed by the greatest earthquake in the earth’s history and hail weighing 120 pounds will fall.

At the end of the Tribulation, there will be another blackout, the stars will fall from the sky and the heavenly bodies will be shaken (Matthew 24:29), the Antichrist and the False Prophet will be thrown into the eternal Lake of Fire and Satan will be cast into the Abyss and bound for 1,000 years.


THE MILLENNIUM

The Lord Jesus will reign over the entire earth during the Millennium. The Jewish and Gentile believers who survive the Tribulation will go on to populate the Millennium. Believers who died before and during the Tribulation and believers who were raptured will be present on earth during the Millennium and because they will have glorified bodies they will not reproduce. All believers will be given special tasks by the Lord Jesus (Revelation 20:4-6). There will be no wars (Isaiah 2:2-4), animals will return to the Edenic state and become vegetarians (Isaiah 11:6-9), people will not labour in vain but eat what they plant and inhabit what they build, there will be renovations in the heavens and earth and there will be righteous and unrighteous children born during the Millennium (Isaiah 65:17-25).

At the end of the Millennium, Satan will be loosed from the Abyss and will deceive and gather the unrighteous for a war against the righteous. This will be his final attempt to destroy the righteous and when the unrighteous of the Millennium surround the good people, God will send fire down from Heaven which will suddenly and massively annihilate all of the wicked people. Satan will then be cast into the Lake of Fire where he will remain in torment for eternity (Revelation 20:7-10).


THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT

The Great White Throne Judgment will be the next main event. The old heavens and earth will be done away with and all will stand before God’s throne to be judged (Revelation 20:11-12). Those whose names are not found written in the Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of Fire which will be their final and eternal abode (Revelation 20:14-15).


THE ETERNAL ORDER (REVELATION 21 AND 22)

Those whose names are found in the Book of Life will enjoy paradise with God forever. The heavens and earth will be made new and the New Jerusalem will come down upon the earth making the earth like Heaven. All curses from the fall will be removed and the earth will be inhabited by the Triune God (The Father, Son and Holy Spirit), all angels and all of the righteous. The seas, moon, night and sun will be done away with and the glory of God will illuminate the earth. The River of Life will flow from God’s throne, the Tree of Life will bear health-giving fruits and leaves and the name of Jesus will be on the foreheads of all of the righteous.
