No one knows when the end of days will happen. I personally think that we will see the end in our life time. Too many things in the Bible are beginning to happen. My best advice to you or anyone else is be ready - when the end happens you will go to heaven. If you're ready you have nothing to worry about. Alot of people don't believe in the Bible, and that's there choice. But what do you have to lose, if you're ready to go and there is an end - then you're safe. But if you're not ready and there is an end - well the alternative doesn't sound good. As for people thinking evangelists are feeding people full of crap. Some are and only out for money. But not all, I personally just read the Bible and take it for what it says. You can't go wrong that way. I do attend church, but I still go by what the Bible says. I guess my best advice is NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THE END WILL HAPPEN. So the choice to be ready or not is one's on will. But I look at it like this, the world won't be here forever - every good thing comes to an end.

Even in Christian scripture, if you believe in them, the events we usually associate with "the end of days" (ie: rapture, disasters, return of Christ, battle against the anti-Christ and Satan) are actually just part of a new beginning, and not the end of everything entirely. A lot of things will be destroyed, but not everything, and what remains will be reborn; like how a new forest grows from the ashes of an old forest fire. The same thing is true in any other religion you really look at. Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and even ancient Norse or Native American Armageddon stories all speak of a dramatic change and rebirth of things, but not an end to everything completely.
As far as whether or not that time is now, I have trouble believing that it is, considering that the disasters of modern time really aren't that unique if you look at other things that have happened throughout history. Persecutions, plagues, wars, nations rising and falling, natural disasters...the frequency of their occurrence hasn't really waxed or waned much over the past 2000+ years, no matter how some people would like to interpret that they have.
Of course, it's still a possibility. We should keep an open-mind about it, I suppose.

The Word says that no man knows the time for these things to happen. But we are not of the night, nor of darkness, and we are to study to show ourselves approved so that day should not come upon us unawares. We study these things, and we know this much: not only are we in the last days, but the last of the last days. The first seal has been opened, and the antichrist spirit has been poured out upon this world. One need only look and listen to the words that people here speak to see that this is true beyond a doubt. Many Christians come here to share the good news of Christ. Many come here in the name of Christianity, but with a message less that that which Jesus taught. But the biggest percentage of people that come here are mockers of God, and haters of Jesus Christ. There are more people that hate Jesus alive today than at any time in recent history. People do not want to hear about Christ. They do not want to hear anything about His doctrine, and will say whatever they can to disspell Him and anyone that follows Him. We believe that when the second seal is opened, the prayers of all the saints will be poured out at the feet of God, and then Jesus will come to take peace from this earth, ie take His bride (church) and the Holy Ghost from here, and leave those that are not sealed unto Him to face the tribulations. The beast is already here. It is the biggest computer in the entire world. The mark of the beast is already in use, also. The US military ID cards have the chip in them that ties in to the computer complex in Brussels, Belgium called the beast. This chip also has a built in GPS signal that can reveal your exact position at any time. Sooner or later, these chips will be expanded to the general public, and moved from a card to inside the body. You might think that it will take a long time for all this to take place. Consider this - all they would have to do is start a cashless society, and the mark could take over at once. So go ahead and mock, go ahead and say it is all stupid, nothing but talk. That is what they said for over 300 years in the days of Noah. They mocked him and laughed at him for longer than this country has been a country. The Bible also says that in the last days, it shall be as it was in the days of Noah. People will be evil, worshippers of themselves instead of God, mockers of God. Sounds just like people today.

100% no. People in the times of the plague thought we were in the end days and so did people during the two world wars. Things were A LOT worse then.

What is true is that people are more idiots and brainwashed than before. What should people that lived during WWII think then?
There is always the end of days nearby, but it is just a need for idiots to have some excitement apparently and to expose their rather wasted intelligence.

In the first book of Acts the disciples ask Jesus a similar question. His response was it wasn't for them to know the times and seasons the father had prepared for them. I wouldn't take stock in mens theories about this issue. Few peole seem to notice when someone writes a bokk making such a claim, then they year passes and they reivse their theory and sell a new book. I don't think God would be pleased by this.

Nope. Nothing is happening now that hasn't happened in the past. The only difference is the technology level.
Crazy Christians have been trying to claim its the end days since the origin of Christianity. Doesn't make them right.
And every single time they turn out to be wrong, they just move the date further back and keep saying its the end days.
When are you guys going to get it through your thick skulls that the end days probably isn't going to happen?

Noone but God knows when the end is, and to Him a thousand years is like a day. Time is but a vapor.Be ready though.

The "last days" the Bible refers to, began on the day of Pentecost. It means the final dispensation before the end of time.
