Is the end near?

Question

I think it is, think about what we have been told. The numbers that will be scanned, 108 people have died just today. what do you think is our lord on his way?

Answer 1

2 Timothy 3:1-5 "3 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away

All of this is true, just take a deep look into the world and see that Jehovah's word is right.

Answer 2

yah I do. I was just doing some research on the dark age lastnight. Thats the age were for a really long time( 3 years excpesially). there is hardly any records of anything in the whole world. Its in 530-533 A.d exactly 500 years after Jesus's death.Well the little stuff they do have is really scary.A guy recorded that the earth was tottally black except for 4 hours a day were there wasn't much sun at all. Scientists have found that by studying tree trunks and the rings representing years. That all around the world for about three years the entire world was in freezing temperatures. Anyway if you read revelations like 16 (I think its 16) it talks about the angels pouring out there bowls on to the earth. I think alot of that stuff has already happened.

Answer 3

Yes, I think the world is near the end, but not because of any archaic notion of the end of the world (people have been saying that since we could first talk, come on). I think it's over because we're going to blow each other up. It only takes the detonation of 5 nukes to put the whole planet into a nuclear winter.

Answer 4

Matthew 24:30-40
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Answer 5

I do not know about this number jumbo, but try reading revealation. It will show that we are in the end of the last days. Why don't you try searching for the truth because from what i have read you have not found it yet.

Answer 6

Minor Signs (in no particular order)

1. "The coming of the Last Prophet, Muhammad ibn Abd-Allah (SAW)." [This has already happened, of course.]
2. "The slave will become the master."
3. "Shepherds will compete in the construction of tall buildings." [The modern ex-nomads of Saudi Arabia are an excellent example of this.]
4. "Knowledge of Islam will be taken away while ignorance will increase. This removal of knowledge will be because old scholars will die and fewer and fewer new scholars will replace them. The leaders of the Muslims will be chosen from ignorant people, and they will rule according to their whims." [Today, studying Islam formally is considered to be an inferior career in most of the Muslim world. The leaders of the Muslim world are more known for their political or military prowess (oppressive ability?) than Islamic knowledge.]
5. "Drinking and fornication will increase heavily."
6. "The population of men will decrease, and women increase till fifty women shall be for every man."
7. "Thirty people will claim to be prophets, followed by Al-Dajjal (the anti-Christ roughly)."
8. "There will be such an abundance of wealth that people will not be able to find recipients for zakat."
9. "Killing will increase."
10. "Time will be shortened so that a year will be like a month, a month like a day, a day like an hour." [This perception of the seemingly dwindling amount of time is very apparent, especially in First World countries.]
11. "Two great countries will fight and kill each other, both claiming the same thing."
12. "Earthquakes will increase in number." [Welcome to California. :-]
13. "A person will pass by the grave, and wish to trade places out of despair."

Major Signs (in rough chronological order)

1. "Al-Dajjal will come, claiming to be God holding Heaven and Hell. His purpose is to deceive, and unbelievers will follow him. He is short, red-faced, blind in the right eye, and has hair which sticks up. He will go around the world, but will be unable to enter Madinah or Makkah." [There are numerous detailed ahadith on this man.]
2. "Al-Mahdi will come at the time of Al-Dajjal. He will call to the true Islam, and will be a military leader. His name will be exactly like that of the Prophet: Muhammad ibn Abd-Allah, and his father's name will match the Prophet's father's name also. He will be descended from Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet."
3. "Isa (Jesus) will come at the time of Al-Dajjal and al-Mahdi as well. He will descend at the time of Fajr prayer on a masjid in Damascus, the capital of Syria. He is of medium height, red-faced, and his hair is as if he just took a shower. He will call people back to Islam, but he will also be a military leader. The People of the Book will revert to Islam, and wealth will be super-abundant. Isa will break the cross, kill the swine, and personally slay Al-Dajjal. He will stay on Earth for a long time thereafter, and then die."
4. "An animal will come and call people back to Islam." [A partial description of this animal is that it is very hairy, so much so that one will not be able to tell its front from its rear (Arabic: 'Dab-ba'). Reference to this animal is mentioned in the Qur'an.]
5. "Gog and Magog (two hidden tribes of people) will break free of the dam that holds them back, and ravage the earth. They will drink all the water, and kill people until Allah sends against them a worm which will wipe them out." [This is roughly before/during the time of Isa, although it is not entirely clear.]
6. "Three places in the world will sink and be swallowed up by the earth. One in the west, one in the east, and one in the Saudi Arabian peninsula." [This may refer to a series of giant, epic earthquakes.]
7. "Fire will come from the area of Aden in Yemen, and sweep northwards." [There are claims that this already happened in some medevial event.]
8. "The sun will rise from the west." [This description is not meant to be a symbolic one...but it is known that it is one of the last, if not the very last one before the following.]
9. "Smoke will appear all over the earth which will cause believers to catch something similar to a slight cold, whereas the unbelievers will be hit harder by it. Finally, a cold wind will come and kill all believers, leaving only unbelievers on the earth who will then witness the LAST HOUR. The angel Israfil will blow a trumpet, and the resurrection of all human beings will begin." [At this point, the Day of Resurrection commences in which the skies and earth are destroyed by Allah.]

This list is far from complete; there are many other signs. A couple more of interest are: Constantinople (Istanbul) will fall before Rome to Islam (note that this means Rome will indeed fall), and the Muslim political system will go from Prophetic leadership to a just Khilafah to a 'biting' authority to an oppressive authority and finally back to a just Khilafah. It seems that today we are in the next to last stage of this chain; now is a good time to actively work for the reestablishment of the Muslim state and Khilafah.

Finally, the Prophet has said that when the Signs start to come, they will come FAST - like a string of beads falling one after the other.

And Allah Knows Best.

Answer 7

Is the end near? Depends on WHAT end you're asking about. Looking at my desk, it sure seems like there's a LOT more odds than ends.

God will come when He comes. I don't wonder or worry about when.

Answer 8

Yes indeed the end is near, just as it has been for the last 2006 or so years.

Answer 9

well according to the bible there are certain prophesies that are to be fulfilled..and some of those things are taking place around us now...so is this the end.. "no" but we are indeed in the days where we know it is not far.

Answer 10

Seems to me that christians are wanting this to happen all the time. Are you so unhappy in your life that you want it all to end.
