Answer 2

Well, I lived through Y2K, and I expect I'll see (pick a date in the last week of) December 2012, or 2013 (oh, those Aztecs, or were they Mayans? And their calender).
Now it looks like 2036 and the Monster Comet is the New Black.
From where I'm standing, the End of Days is like gargoyles on cathedrals. Something to scare people.
Somehow, I'm not buying it.

Answer 3

In the Christian religion there are a few vague prophecies with no dates and events that happen every few years. I've been looking into Hinduism lately and they have a very detailed one claiming that the end times started quite some time ago and will end in 2036 or somwhere around that. I guess we'll see if they were right soon enough.

Answer 4

Yes, I believe it is the end times. If you read in the bible Matthew chapters 24 and 25, Jesus gives indications of what will happen in the end times. However, as a Christian you should not be weary, but be thrilled to know that your Heavenly Father is returning to rid the world of sin.

Answer 5

I believe we are ... here is something from the book of 2 TImothy:

Biblical references:
2 Timothy 3:2 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society


2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.



and also:

3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

Answer 6

Here's my thinking about the "end times."

Each of us dies, and is aware that death is inevitable. We spend our lives knowing that our lives will end.

All we know of the world is stored in our minds. We are each, then, "a world."

As we contemplate the end of our lives, we contemplate the end of a world. All we know of the world ends when we do, thus when we die our world dies with us.

Consequently, each death is an apocalpyse.

Here are a few "end times" predictions:

Answer 7

We've always been in the "end times". It's just a matter of "when" - and - since Jesus Himself said that "nobody knows the day nor the hour" - I don't worry much about it, and just try to live every day as if today was the day!

Answer 8

Every generation has had their own problems and thinks it is the end times. No one can know.

Answer 9

It definely seems that way with wars and plagues and family turning against family , but this has been going on for thousands of years.
Only God in heaven knows the answer to this question and
we shall not question God.

Answer 10

If you read the prophecies in the Bible you will find out most of them have been fulfilled. Everything is now lining up with " the abomination that makes desolate ".
