Well if you are asking if I believe that we are near or in the last days of this system of things, then yes. Much of Revelation has already happened. Please explore the following website. You will find many many topics related to your question and also mnay Scriptures that back it all up.

According to the Bible, we are now passing through a critical era called “the last days.” (2 Timothy 3:1) That phrase does not signify the end of planet Earth and of all life upon it. Rather, it means “the conclusion of the system of things” and therefore the end of the conditions that cause us sorrow. (Matthew 24:3) The Bible describes the events and the traits of people that would be prevalent during the last days. Note some of these in the box [“Some Features Of “The Last Days””], and then look outside the “window” at the world scene. Our map, the Bible, helps us to pinpoint our present location as being very close to the end of this system of things. But what will follow?
SOME OF THE FEATURES OF THE LAST DAYS:
Unprecedented warfare.—Matthew 24:7; Revelation 6:4.
Famine.—Matthew 24:7; Revelation 6:5, 6, 8.
Pestilences.—Luke 21:11; Revelation 6:8.
Increasing lawlessness.—Matthew 24:12.
Ruining of the earth.—Revelation 11:18.
Great earthquakes.—Luke 21:11.
Critical times hard to deal with.—2 Timothy 3:1.
Inordinate love of money.—2 Timothy 3:2.
Disobedience to parents.—2 Timothy 3:2.
Lack of natural affection.—2 Timothy 3:3.
Loving pleasures rather than God.—2 Timothy 3:4.
Lack of self-control.—2 Timothy 3:3.
Without love of goodness.—2 Timothy 3:3.
Taking no note of the impending danger.—Matthew 24:39.
Ridiculers reject proof of the last days.—2 Peter 3:3, 4.
Global preaching of God’s Kingdom.—Matthew 24:14.
THE ROAD AHEAD:
Immediately after Adam and Eve rebelled, God began to reveal his purpose for an arrangement to install a Kingdom “that will never be brought to ruin.” (Daniel 2:44) That Kingdom, which many have been taught to pray for in what is commonly called the Lord’s Prayer, will bring untold blessings to mankind.—Matthew 6:9, 10.
God’s Kingdom is not some vague concept that exists in the heart. It is a real heavenly government that will have profound effects on earth. Just consider what God promises to accomplish for humans by means of his Kingdom. The Bible says that God will first “bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” (Revelation 11:18) What will he do for those who demonstrate their obedience to him? His written Word says that he will “wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” (Revelation 21:4) What human could ever accomplish those things? Only God can bring us to the condition he originally purposed for mankind.
How can you benefit from the blessings that God’s Kingdom will bring? John 17:3 says: “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.” Jehovah’s Witnesses are involved in a worldwide educational program that is helping people to do just that. Their ministry is carried out in some 230 lands, and their literature is published in more than 400 languages. If you would like to learn more, contact Jehovah’s Witnesses at the above link.

Here is what the bible says. Prepare your hearts at present. Walk into the neighborhood pentacostal or assemblies of God church. Luk 21:20 And whilst ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then recognize that the desolation thereof is nigh. Luk 21:25 And there might be indicators within the solar, and within the moon, and within the stars; and upon the earth misery of countries, with perplexity; the ocean and the waves roaring; Luk 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for worry, and for watching after the ones matters that are coming in the world: for the powers of heaven might be shaken. Luk 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of guy coming in a cloud with vigour and best glory. Luk 21:28 And whilst those matters start to return to move, then seem up, and raise up your heads; on your redemption draweth nigh.
