In the last days there will be a massive falling away into sin. People aren't repenting but saying all kinds of things like "I can make my own GOD" . .. this is the effect of saying, "I know what's good for me" . .. rather than saying, "JESUS knows what is good for me." . .. sometimes the message sounds similar . .. but remember the devil tempted JESUS with scripture but JESUS rebuked the devil again with Scripture. That which we need to know has been taught to us, and the devil will tempt us away from that. ..
Now if you would overcome you need to understand how Revelation 12:11 tells us there 3 requirements.
1. THE WORD of their testimony. That is the Sacred Scripture which JESUS used to rebuke the devil. This is the Gospel.
2. THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB. This is the HOLY EUCHARIST or COMMUNION which is the LITERAL BODY AND BLOOD.
3. Not loving your life unto death.
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of the testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death.
There is no other way to overcome.
I do realize there are many who don't want to hear this message and will arrogantly reject it. But it is aimed as much at those who don't want to hear as those who will understand it is TRUTH.
-LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen.
Edit: in response to someone's post here who has interpreted daniel 2:44 and revelation 16:14 . ..
daniel 2:44 i would take to mean the communion of Saints which is the Catholic Church in HEAVEN, purgatory, and Earth . .. and revelation 16:14 appears to be about a "gathering" of armies against GOD . .. but we have a promise in the Gospel that the Church JESUS built which Saint Peter was made the "rock" upon which JESUS built this Church . .. But i am just claryfying since i don't necessarily agree with his "interpretation" without posting the scripture itself.
Revelation 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils working signs, and they go forth unto the kings of the whole earth, to gather them to battle against the great day of the Almighty God.
Daniel 2:44 But in the days of those kingdoms the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and his kingdom shall not be delivered up to another people, and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms, and itself shall stand for ever.

Yes I am afraid it is! it is like Matthew 24:37 It will be like the days of noah.
Showing it isn't all caos. Men and women are marrying.
eating and drinking. until the day Noah entered into the ark and the flood came and swept them all away.
One day it is going to hit us all that way and everything in our lives will change. We can make jokes about it.
However, when it happens it won't be funny.
It wasn't raining when Noah build the ark.
He preached for a long time 120 years and they thought he was crazy. Until the heavens opened up and the water came down. Next time it says it will be fire, perhaps it will be an astroid. Maybe like Rome just fall apart from the inside.
But we do know this it won't be USA or UK or Mexico or the middle east.
Revelation 16:14 says every nation in the world will be done away with.
Daniel 2:44 says that God's kingdom will destroy all the kingdoms of the world.

2 Tim. 3:1-5, 8-9
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, [3] Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, [4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; [5] Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. [9] But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
This was written to the church, not the unbelievers.
This is happening in the church.
Also read the Laodicean message in Revelations 3. Many scholars revel this as the last days church,

A guy goes to cross the street. a Car hits him. His days just came to an end. You talk about the End of Days being upon us. The end for each of us. The end for us all. Whats the difference? You have only the Time your given to make the choices you will. Choose wisely.

We have been in the 'end of days' since Jesus was resurrected. Nobody knows when that will happen (even Jesus), but it could be any time now. The answer to the second question has more to do with God giving each of us the free will to decide "what will you do with this Jesus".

For the very same reason that the people whom heard the little boy crying "WOLF!" no longer listened.....The "end of days" has been shouted from the rooftops, street corners, and pulpits ever since Jesus was spoken of in the Old Testament.
We can only pray for them and ourselves....and do the little things in life that they may see and get hope from
May you find Peace. :)

Maybe is out of deception.
The religion is kind of twisted nowadays in my opinion, because the opression the church has done through all of history. So people ends up associating this with faith, which for me it means something different from the statements of religion.
The faith in God should be the fuel for the religion to work, and not the faith being second after the "commands" of the church.
Without faith, religion and it's rituals means nothing and are useless.

I think that a faith that prays for the world to end is a death cult. Does that make any sense? I think the Divine conforms to our expectations, so every single faith is True and none are False. How can all faiths be wrong and yours be the Absolute Truth? That's 99% Atheist and very extremist. I believe in life, love, and good booze. If you want to pray to your celibate, Hanged God for the world to end while dismissing anything any wisdon any other faith has to offer while wondered more people aren't in your cult, be my guest. I prefer to be happy. Angry, vengeful, Torturer Gods aren't my thing. Please, find a real religion that promotes love and life, not death and limitation.

Because the Bible foretold that the majority of people wouldn't listen and believe that we're living in the time of the end. (Matthew 7:14)

Paul said that before the AntiChrist would come, there would be a mass religious apostasy. And Peter said that mockers and scoffers would come. So, I am not surprised that so many have rejected God.
