Jesus will return before the world destroys itself. Everything is written in the Bible. You can pick up the Bible and watch the news and it is as if the Bible were written today. People can ignore the signs of the times, but anyway you look at it....MADMEN + NUCLEAR WEAPONS= DESTRUCTION.

We will kill ourselves off eventually. The Mayan disappeared and alot of other races have and always will. Dialectic theory by Karl Marx says that history will repeat itself again and again. It is inevitable. This is the way life always has been. Its for the best also. Can you imagine a race that cares nothing about anyone but themselves? That is the way things are now and a race cannot continued this way forever. Not to mention the hideous way we keep our world. We create Styrofoam and still drive cars powered on fossil fuels, what an injury to the atmosphere! It will all go away eventually for awhile than life will start again anew. Its all a matter of time. Hopefully the next time around humanity will actually care for its people and not kill and rape and pillage each other like the barbaric way in which we survive now.

In 1848, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels wrote the "Communist Manifesto" predicting that the existing order of societies will be be ultimately changed. The rise of communist parties is attributed to that ideology. There came about socialist countries with hegemonist ambitions, yet the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics collapsed under a system that fed upon itself. And no one got the better out of it save for the party appratchiks.
Will things change? No.
The dynamics of human society and the dynamics of individual psychology is a mass that by and in itself will remain the same, regardless of the environment. Human adaptability is such that the social ills and graces will be chasing each other's tail as a continuing cycle.
Yet society and human thniking is not static... but statically dynamic. That provides challenges, opportunity and hope for everybody.

Yes, the end is near. Just wait until a crazy leader like the one in Iran gets the bomb. He's close to having one and he's crazy enough to use it. Talk about a world wide chain of cataclysmic events that would happen as a result.

Yes the end of this system is coming to an end, unfortunately it will be a violent end. Those with money and power will never go quietly the poor will be the greatest victims when it does come.

Actually, I would LIKE to believe either of those scenarios. I am not sure I can. Not sure I have any real hope for the future. I have lived through several prophesied doomsdays, and have been somewhat disappointed that they did not come to pass.

Our precise history is only 6000 years; that is too short.
Man are progressing through many dark times to build an ever-advancing civilization. So be hopeful, and don't hesitate to make your contribution to the building of the Kingdom of God on earth for the end without end.
Baha'u'llah says:
"Man is the supreme Talisman. Lack of a proper education hath, however, deprived him of that which he doth inherently possess. Through a word proceeding out of the mouth of God he was called into being; by one word more he was guided to recognize the Source of his education; by yet another word his station and destiny were safeguarded. The Great Being saith: Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.
(Baha'u'llah, Tablets of Baha'u'llah, p. 161)

We are definitely drifting backward toward feudalism. It can still be turned around, but if the corporate oligarchies complete the destruction of the middle class of the western world, the non-ultra wealthy can look forward to slavery and wars of economic imperialism like we haven't seen.

Yes, I believe the end is coming to this world system of things as they are.
Yes, I believe things will get better.
First, things are going to get much worse ... while humankind demonstrate how they are capable and willing to destroy every shred of civilisation.
Then when He Who made everything "very good" intervenes to rescue and restore His creation, then things are going to get very much better!!
