Sometimes you read about the signs of the last days and it seems as though .... any and every generation could have been considered the last days. Are we near the last days or ...... how long can this world go on before God's Kingdom comes about ??

I believe we have been having last days since Jesus rise up. So fort all the generations have had these signs. Jesus asked us to be ready. This really to protect us and we would keep God's word.
Everything will happen in God's timing. Just be ready. :)

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.

When the Jewish people returned to Israel in 1948 as the Bible stated that in one day the nation would be born and God would bring His people back to their land - THIS IS WHEN THE LATTER DAYS BEGAN.

I see that you just can't wait for the world to end. How sad. And your wish for total destruction is actually a part of your faith too. Don't you see that this is evil? How can you justify praying for the end of the world? How can this ever be a positive thing?

A characteristic of today's evangelicals is that they believe they are special enough to somehow be chosen to experience the second coming of Christ.
...Oh noes! And earthquake! Are YOU rapture ready?
Something like that. : P

No, it's a lot of old nonsense.
Just because a few blokes picked and chose some words a few hundred years agao, IT DOES NOT MAKE THEM TRUE.
