do you believe we could be living in the end times?

Answer 1

I dont think we are living in the end times yet but i think we are in the pre-end times.. It will be here sooner then people think..
The world is and has gotten more and more wicked.. I dont see how HE will wait much longer.. But HE does not wish any to perish so HE is waiting as long as HE can.. When the rapture takes place and the signing of the treaty between the antichrist and israel is done it will be very hard here especially for anyone who becomes a christian during the tribulation..

Answer 2

God..I have wondered this question so many times before. I think we are livingin the end times, to be honest. I mean, I don't think we are the last generation--I would give it at least 50-100 more years until we are REALLY at the end times. Just look at us--all we have to do is push a button and everything is there for us. We commit the seven sins nearly every single day, sometimes without even realizing it. America itself is (I believe) 60% obese. About a third of the 6 billion people in this world starve to death yet we don't do anything about it even though we can. We have incredible technology, which, in the past ten years has evolved greatly and will continue to evolve at a faster pace in the forthcoming years. We've been to surrounding planets and have witnessed the outer galaxies. The only thing we don't have yet is a cure for cancer and AIDS. Because of financial restraints, we aren't flying around as our dominant method of transportation--but that will come in time. When we finally have defeated science in its existence and knowledge, it will be the end of time. We are too close.

Answer 3

Every week or so, for as long as I have been alive, someone has predicted that the end of the world was just around the corner. They have all cited "Revelations" and various and sundry other prophecies.

I have come to the conclusion that we have this love affair with the "end times" because we cannot face the awful fact that each of us is going to die, and consequently invent the apocalypse to comfort ourselves with the illusion that we're not going alone, C. P. Snow's observation to the contrary notwithstanding.

Answer 4

Jesus likened “the end of the world” to what happened at the time of the global Flood in Noah’s day. (MATTHEW 24:37-39) At that time it was not the earth itself that was destroyed. Rather, it was ungodly humans. Because of the shocking behavior of the people living back then, God said: “I am going to wipe men whom I have created off the surface of the ground.” (GENESIS 6:7)

Likewise, the apostle Peter spoke of the ancient “world of ungodly people” that was destroyed back in Noah’s time. It was not planet Earth that perished.—2 PETER 2:5.

The world that the Bible so definitely says will be destroyed is the world of mankind that is not doing the will of God. “As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.” (Proverbs 2:22)

2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5 & MATTHEW 24 show that we are living in the last days before this will happen. What we need to do is to find out what the will of God is, and then do it before it's too late
MATTHEW 7:13, 14, 21-23

Answer 5

If there are really these periodic instances in which the world is purged of sinners, isn't that like saying God screwed up? If he's omnipotent and omniscient, and he created all of us and has control over our destinies, how does it ever get to the point where he has to wipe the slate clean and start over from scratch? Did he stop paying attention for a few thousand years? Why do so many religious people have such a low opinion of God that they think he can or would allow his world to get to that point?

Answer 6

*Sigh*

Christians have been proclaiming that we are in the "End Times" for 2000 years. Every generation insists that it is the last one and that people had better hurry up and convert. "Any day now." And every single time the rationale is always the same: "The Signs Are All There!"

Bad news folks: There are always wars and rumors of wars. There are always famines and droughts, storms and floods. The site for the fateful Temple on the Mount is occupied by Muslims who have their holiest shrines there. And nobody, NOBODY in the world has the charisma, influence, or plan to convert or dominate the entire world.

Answer 7

Absolutely, the picture that the Bible paints is like a thumb print that only fits our times, too many prophecies about the things that will happen are happening, some of those things did happen in times past but not all at the same time and on a global scale. And there are somethings happening that did not happen before.

Answer 8

When everyone on Earth has been told the good news that is when Jesus will return. No one knows when the end of times will be except God.

Answer 9

Christianity and the "rapture" = waiting at a bus stop that has been discontinued

the Kingdom of "god" came in Jesus' time

it was about awareness and doing love to others NOW not later

winning by waging peace and love, about just helping others irregardless of thier choices to harm others/self

Answer 10

Without a doubt. Look at all the news on global warming lately. Reminds me of what God said through His prophet Malachi below:

Malachi 4:1-3
The Day of the LORD
1 "Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. 3 Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the LORD Almighty.

The United Church of God puts out some interesting prophetic literature on the time of the end. See, for example, http://www.gnmagazine.org/booklets/ET/olivetprophecy.htm
