According to the Bible, Armageddon won't happen until the world goes through much greater tribulations than what you've listed. Per the pre-tribulation rapture standpoint, the Church (Christians) must be caught up first, then all the things in Revelation go down which takes about 7 lunar years, then Jesus returns to rule the nations with an iron rod, and that's when the Battle of Armageddon happens.

People have always hated the world and the things it does. Name me a point in history where people thought they were much better off than they are now, and I'll show you two when things seemed worse. There is no evidence for any kind of Armageddon, might I point out that believing future prophecies in the bible is not a valid argument even if the rest of the bible is true, because it would be considered a 'call to authority' which is a false arguement. When the world ends, it will be through humans hands or natural disasters.

Okay, everyday that passes means we are getting closer to the end. Whether it be getting hit by a 10 ton truck, catching some rare disease, or Armageddon. Relax, kick back, and read a good book...perhaps the bible. Read about Jesus and the difference he made in many lives. Yes, there are fanatics in ALL religions, but that doesn't mean the message of Christ is bad. It just means some of the messengers are a tad bit over zealous. Do yourself a favor, stop focusing on the end times. Your just might have a heart attack. Focus on today and the difference you can make in one persons life.

Based on the evidence you posted with your question concerning the signs of the times and the words from Revelation that describe such events, I would say that it would be real soon! The battle of Armageddon will occur towards the end of the Tribulation period, approximately 6 years after the Rapture (The Bible uses a lunar calendar of 360 days. This is why I said 'approximately' 6 years though the bible says the tribulation will be 7 years in length).

It isn't coming for at least 7 years if I understand the Bible correctly. The battle in the valley of Megiddo isn't supposed to happen until the end of the great tribulation when Jesus returns to earth as a conquering King.
Revelation 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

The text that comes to mind is when the disciples asked Jesus a similar question:
Matthew 24:3-14
3 While he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?”
4 And in answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads YOU; 5 for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. 6 YOU are going to hear of wars and reports of wars; see that YOU are not terrified. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet.
7 “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. 8 All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.
9 “Then people will deliver YOU up to tribulation and will kill YOU, and YOU will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. 10 Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and mislead many; 12 and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off. 13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. 14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
According to that last verse (14) The Jehovah's Witnesses are among one of the only religions or the only religion that has an organized preaching or taking God's word to people of all nations over 235 countries and counting. So i would say that because of the Jehovah's witnesses preaching Jehovah's
word we can say that the end is upon us. his preaching is only made possible because Jehovah bestows upon us his holy spirit and thats the only way that we can preach in an organized person to all these countries, so thank Jehovah God.

Yup. Mr. Muhammad Ahmenajad is setting the stage with Hugo Chavez. My senses tell me that the time is coming. Im not sure if God can send messages through the sky but when I look at the clouds now a days, they feel very different. They are beautiful but when I look at them I sense a difference. As in, its possible God might be trying to tell us the time is upon us. I remember a time where I was walking and I looked up at the clouds and for no reason I said Armageddon is coming and I got the worst feeling in my stomach.

Yes these battles happen just before Christ returns (this happens between 2011 and 2018) . These are the battles of Armageddon and Hemongog. They both happen at the same time (indicating a coordinated strike) but are thousands of miles apart. And God says it will be Him that ends the battles very quickly. He said He will do this so that all will come to know that there is a god and that it is Him.

Armageddon is a myth and various times throughout history, the "end" has been speculated many times and when the dates pass by, a new date or era is given.
The world will be here for a very long time, assuming we don't destroy ourselves. But no, no one is gong to swoop down from the skies and save us from our own stupidity.
As for your post, it seems you believe in some conspiracy theories: Might be time to remove that tin-foil hat.
