Not necessarily. I believe there is a passage in the Bible that compares them to birth pangs; I am a mother of two, and know that contractions start out about 15 minutes to a half hour apart and get increasingly closer together. Now, I don't think that the signs will be that close, but I think that we might experience a major tsunami one year, a devastating earthquake 11 months after that, a horrible hurricane 9 months after that... you get the picture.

The end times are a very important subject in the Bible. They are addressed in many of the Old Testament prophetic books (Isaiah through Malachi). In the New Testament, the primary passages on the end times are Matthew 24:4-44, Mark 13:5-33, Luke 17:20-37, Luke 21:8-36, 1Thessalonians 4:14-5:3, 2Thessalonians 1:6-2:12, 2Peter 3:3-12, and the Revelation.A summary of Jesus' words in Matthew 24 shows that the end times will involve the following:
wars and rumors of wars
nation rising against nation, and kingdom against kingdom
famines and earthquakes
false prophets coming in Jesus' name
many people being deceived by false prophets
false prophets performing signs and wonders
persecution of true believers
people's love of God decreasing
the gospel preached in the whole world
the "abomination of desolation" (a world leader who makes himself out to be God)
great tribulation
alterations in the sun, moon, stars
Jesus' true followers gathered to Him
Jesus' return
Jesus' judgment of people on earth
the event where Christ's true followers are caught up to meet him in the air, some main texts for that are: Matthew 24:31, Mark 13:27, 1Corinthians 15:51-52, 1Thessalonians 4:16-17, and 2Thessalonians 2:1-4.

Anyone who says that they KNOW that the end times are here is a liar. They've thought the end times were her for the last 2000 years at least.

I would imagine so since God said that no one would be able to stand it lest the days be shortened. So i expect he will have things rolling pretty quickly.
