Are we in the END TIMES?

Question

According to the Bible??

According to the Bible? Please elaborate on your answers

Answer 1

The fact that there is strife within and among the churches MAY be one of the signs of the end times.

The folks at Family Radio believe the Final Judgment and Second Coming of Christ will be in the fall of 2011.

For example see the book “Time Has an End” on line at:
http://www.timehasanend.org/public/en_time_has_an_end_cont.html

This group, whose primary teacher is one Harold Camping, also believes the Church Age has ended in 1988 and believers are to come out of the churches as they are now under the control of malevolent forces now that the Tribulation has begun. According to this group, this is why there is so much strife between and within church groups.

See the book Time Has an End, Ch. 10:
http://www.timehasanend.org/public/en_time_has_an_end_ch10.html

That said, the online audio lectures at Family Radio, are illuminating and worth a listen:
See: http://worldwide.familyradio.org/zusa/english/connect/audio_archive/echoes/frame/download/download.html

Finally, for the offline version of the Family Radio nightly call in show, where folks ask questions about the bible to Mr. Camping, see:

I am not endorsing Family Radio’s doctrines, but one is able to learn quite a bit by listening to these materials.


Most of what you will read about the end times are pre-millennial views: the view that Christ's return will usher in a future millennium of Messianic rule mentioned in the book of Revelation before the final judgment. The believers of this doctrine also hold to the notion of a Rapture of the righteous beforehand.

Others hold that there will be only one second coming of Christ, at the time of the Final Judgment.

Then there are mixtures involving the views of the seven year tribulation and whether it is happening now, will happen later, etc.

These doctrines all fall under the general heading known as the study of end times, or eschatology.

Answer 3

They have been saying that for centuries. According to the Bible the earth is only a few thousand years old. Consider everyday to be your last.

Answer 4

The end times began when Jesus died on the cross, so the answer is yes.

Some believe the year 1917 roughly corresponded with the beginning of the 12th chapter of the Book of Revelation.

Your mileage may vary ...

Answer 5

Depends on how you look at it, such as are you ready to go or not. If your ready then don't give it much thought. If your not ready then yes, you have reason to be worried cause if we are not in the end of time then a lot of things are sure being revealed aren't they? Answer to the ? YES!!

Answer 6

Jesus talked about the end times in chapter 24 of the Gospel of Matthew. He predicted, there, that the temple would be destroyed. That happened in 70 AD. I am sure the Jew felt like that was an end. At any rate, we are not in the end times.
