why do people keep saying oil is way too expensive??? if you look at how much money we make compared to the people in the early to mid 20th century who payed "less" for gas, we actually pay a less percentage of our income on gas. so oil prices are not "skyrocketing". also the end of the world is not anytime soon.

Bollocks.
Name a time in the last 8000 years when there was not a war going on?
I must have missed the prophecy in the bible about oil prices. Care to give us the prophecy? Does it go something like:
And lo, when the price of the sweet oil from the sea of the North reaches 300 shekels for a lethech of oil, then the world will end. So sayeth the great Angel Sy Cotic.

The world will not end until everyone deeds their property to the local Bible prophecy preacher in advance, then the clock will strike midnight, the preacher will say the end of the world has come.
Nothing will happen.
The preacher will wait two or three hours, say oops, he's wrong but a lot wealthier (real estate acquisitions) and life
will go on.
The world, for all practical purposes, ends/tends to end/whatever when one dies at the ripe age of 100 or so.

The future of the world is in our hands. If we don't address the serious problem in this world as God would want, they will get bigger, and the world will get in worse shape. But, don't expect it to end, and people being able to bail out or escape, to some better world somewhere else. The future is not predictable. The future is our responsibility. God wants us all to contribute positively, to a better world, by addressing it's seroius problem, and making for a better tomorrow.

Jesus said it would happen within a single generation (which is like 40 years or something) or it wouldn't happen at all. Jesus came back for the good, and left the bad here. Or maybe, like Huddini, he couldn't pull it off. Or maybe, that too is minutia, which isn't relevant to what Christianity should be about, and that is love and mercy.

No, it's the end of oil as a primary fuel source. That does not equate the end of the world.

The trouble is no one can accurately define end of the world. Everybody reads the signs differently.

It is true that our time on earth is getting shorter, wars and wars and wars. But there will always be wars, God says so in His word (don't remember where). All prophecy has been fulfilled that the bible talks about.

It is near. For the Bible says no man shall know the day nor the hour. He shall come as a thief in the night. Will you be ready?

Jesus gave us some signs to look out for and I would say things are bad, but no man knows that day or hour, it would be a sin, a false prophet to set a date.
