why true christians believe the end is near?

Answer 1

look around...

Answer 2

Something to do with all the current world wide upheaval in religion, politics, economics, wars, famine, not to forget the current weird weather patterns. USA has ice storms we've got droughts, water shortages (some towns are being asked to only shower every third day ewww especially if you work in the slaughter industry) and bush fires everywhere. I'm not what is classed as a true christian but my mum can find an answer for it all no matter how you throw the question at her.
Personaly I feel it's the beginning of the end of the current civilized structure just look what happened to ancient Rome when they got too greedy and full of themselves, history holds some interesting lessons that we can still learn from today.

Answer 3

Not just Christians believe the end is near.

Answer 4

Who said that, some tele-evangelist?
Most Christians don't get their religion from feel good TV shows. Most true Christian go to real Churches and the priest/ ministers rarely if ever talk about the end of times unless the gospel that Sunday is about the Apocalypse.
At the end things are going to be a whole lot worse than what we got now, I dont' think its happening in our life time. We are just taught to live like it is your last day on earth and you will have nothing to worry about.

Answer 5

A true Christian would know that no one knows when the end is coming. There have been terrible moments throughout history and people jump on the End O' The World bandwagon with giddy abandon.

The thing is, if you feel that you'll be in Heaven when Jesus does return, you shouldn't worry yourself over such matters as the end of the world.

Answer 6

The Parable of The Fig Tree.

SIGNS

Christ gave some events to recognize the end times.

In Matt.24:3-8, Mark 13:5-8, Luke 21:8-11.

Many shall come in my name (authority) saying I am Christ (Christian) and shall deceive many.

The best example of this is the so-called Rapture. This is a LIE which can easily be disproved by God’s Word. Christ returns at the seventh trump.

Wars and rumors of war.

Nation shall rise (rouse from obscurity) against (along side) nation kingdom against (along side) kingdom.

The words “shall rise” (eg-i'-ro) in Greek means “rouse from obscurity”.

This word “against” (epi) in Greek means “along side” not in opposition to.

Since 1990 (30) new countries have emerged. We now have the global market place or the global community.

Famines.

Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

This famine of hearing the words of the LORD is very apparent on TV. Maybe a verse or two then mans’ words for 20 minutes.

Pestilences.

Aids, mad cow disease, bird flu and etc.

Earthquakes in diverse places.

This word “earthquakes” (seismos) in Greek means both “earthquake and tempest”.

Look at the hurricanes we have been having.

All these are the beginning of sorrows (birth pangs).

This word “sorrows” (odin) in Greek means “birth pangs of childbirth”.

The birth pangs of a new dispensation, and the contractions are getting closer together. The water may have broke during the tsunami of 2004.

Answer 7

Who said true Christians believe that?

Answer 8

Who the hell decides who 'true' Christians are. And no the end is not near.

Answer 9

Nobody knows when the end is except for God. The Bible explains events that will eventually come to pass in the last days, but who can really say that we have reached the end?

Answer 10

Many of the prophesies concerning the last days are being fulfilled around us and not just Christians believe these are the last days.

Answer 11

they are true christians?
