Yes, we are living in the last days. The apostle Paul tells us that “in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here,” and adds:
“Men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God.”
Paul then tells us to turn away from such. (2 Tim. 3:1-5) Do we not see this lack of real love, this “self first” attitude accentuated throughout the world today? It contributes greatly to the critical problems of the times.
Jesus foretold that most people would ignore the evidence that we are living in the last days. The destruction of the wicked will come suddenly and unexpectedly. Like a thief in the night, it will catch most people by surprise. (1 Thessalonians 5:2) Jesus warned: “As the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.”—Matthew 24:37-39
Jesus told his listeners: “Pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighed down with overeating and heavy drinking and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day be instantly upon you as a snare. For it will come in upon all those dwelling upon the face of all the earth. Keep awake, then, all the time making supplication that you may succeed in escaping all these things that are destined to occur, and in standing [with approval] before the Son of man.” (Luke 21:34-36) It is wise to take Jesus’ words to heart. Why? Because those having the approval of Jehovah God and “the Son of man,” Jesus Christ, have the prospect of surviving the end of Satan’s system of things and of living forever in the marvelous new world that is so close at hand!—John 3:16; 2 Peter 3:13.
Durning that time you have to rely on him to take care of you/us and provide, and he will. "Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself, And he himself will sustain you. Never will he allow the righteous one to totter" Psalms 55:22

I'll deny them, than you very much.
There have always been postulations on the end of the world, in every decade. This is not proof of the Bible or any other religion.
And I'd say with the birth of individualism, secular government, representative democracy, scientific inquiry, and the free market, we live in some of the best times (at least in the U.S) that humanity has ever experienced.
We have long life expectancies compared to our ancestors. We can grow enough food to support our people. We can do and believe as we please, without hurting others. The rest of the world hasn't caught up yet, but there's optimism that it can.
So please, stop with the religious apocalyptic delusions. We can make the world a better place for everybody if we don't believe that the world is about to end due to bronze age myths.

to date we were contained in the proper circumstances for in basic terms over 1900 years. they could't make up there recommendations on the date. at first it replaced right into 100 ad, then the two hundred's, then many extra 1000AD, and it keep on going there have been thousands of end of the global dates. very last one replaced into the year 2000. The earthquakes ensue each and each of the time that's organic. in basic terms as positive because it rains outdoors. Now persecution Christians...imagine about that one for a minute. contained in the U.S. it really is uncommon and for the most elements it really is Christians persecution Atheists and Islamic human beings persecution everybody. We do in basic terms not listen it because we in elementary words the following what's the following contained in the U.S. the most. Persecution will consistently exists as long as there are differentiating ideology's. Now in case you count number the rapture as a large organic disaster which will ensue. Yellow Stone has been over due for roughly a century. This one volcano will darken the northern Hemisphere and Wipe out the Worlds Breadbasket in a unmarried flow.

Yes. Read
Matt 24
Mark 13
Luke 21
One key is the parable of the fig tree. The fig tree being the nation of Israel. Israel once again became a nation after 2000 years of obscurity. No other nation of people in history has ever been scattered to all ends of earth and reformed, Just as scripture prophesied in Ex:37. Jesus said out of His own Mouth the generation that sees will be the generation who sees His coming. Do you believe Jesus is who He says He is. MY God Cant lie.

There are no accident, especially in God's economy.
While every generation has believed that God could return i their own time, and several people have falsely prophesied the same, at no other time has earthy events, heavenly signs, world news and God's Word come together is it is now.
One world government, not at any time in history, however it is looming in the future. One world church, never could it have been dreamed of, even by the Catholic Church and the dark ages.
The ability to see around the world at one time? To be able to see two prophets of God dieing, laying in the streets for three days and then coming to life again could not have happened until the ability of the satellite system

What's so special about this point in history? There's always been catastrophes, but they weren't always so widely reported. Cheer up. When the world ends it ends. Personally, I'd rather not know when that is. I've got a friend in Jesus, that's enough.

Just look at the ice caps that are melting away

The only coincidence is that with the advent of easy-access publishing and more recently the Internet, more and more wackos are jumping on the End Times bandwagon.
