Oh yes, I do..
Signs are all around us of end times...
The last seal to be opened will be accompanied by silence in Heaven for about a half hour. This is the day of Lord.
The targets of the first 4 trumpets are 'earth and the sea'.. Rev 7:2..
Death will result from plagues and will be directed towards the earths life-support system. They will devastate one third of the Earths environment.
The seals are:
1. Religious deception (which we already have) Rev 6:1-2
2. War (which is happening now) Rev 6:3-4
3. Famine (people starving in other countries) Rev 6:5-6
4. Disease epidemic (Rev 6:7-8
5. Tribulation and persecution Rev 6:9-11
6. Heavenly signs
7. Armageddon and return of Christ..
Look around us each day at false religions, famine, diseases, persecution.. I don't believe it will too far from now until the last seal is opened....

Yes, I see the signs and as an Adventist we are kept put in remembrance of the things Christ said would be. I got to be honest I shake in my bones when I think about the things to take place before and during his coming. In America we have had some bad experiences with mother nature and terrorists coming here and then Katrina. Man, I wonder if the next thing is greater than those that came already in the Americas'. I can not and will not speak for no one else but I am heeding the message of Jesus and praying I will be able to escape those things coming on the earth. I am watching and praying even for others that maybe unfocused by this world. Satan is a liar !

I can't pin point the exact date but I believe we are on our way to the end. I hope that things will stretch out until at least the year 2070 I know that is a long ways away and probably when that date arrives (if ever) I would prob want the world to last longer than that. But to answer your question I do believe so as you say the signs according to the bible don't lie.

Yes, but
GOD IS NOT GOING TO DESTROY THE EARTH, THE EARTH SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE WILL BECOME A GARDEN OF EDEN OR PARADISE WHERE PEOPLE CAN LIVE IN PEACE & SECURITY.
ARMAGEDDON IS SIMPLY HIS WAR TO CLEAN THE EARTH OF WICKED PEOPLE & ALL BAD THINGS THAT EXIST, & PEOPLE WHOSE WORSHIP IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HIM.
Why, though, would God wage a global war? Armageddon is closely related to one of his cardinal qualities, justice. The Bible declares: “God is a lover of justice.” He has seen all the acts of injustice perpetrated during man’s history. This naturally provokes his righteous displeasure. Thus, he has appointed his Son to wage a just war in order to do away with this entire wicked system.
Only God is capable of waging a truly just and truly selective war during which righthearted individuals, wherever they may be on earth, will be preserved. ) And only he has the right to impose his sovereignty over all the earth, for it is his creation.
What about survivors? Indeed, no one needs to perish at Armageddon. The apostle Peter observed: “God, does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.” And the apostle Paul stated that God’s “will is that all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.”
Consider the good Har–Magedon promises to achieve, godly humanity’s peaceful future on this planet, no more pollution, no more war, no more poverty, no more disease or even death. God promises: “Look! I am making all things new.” Revelation 21:3,4
The one's living in a Paradise Earth will be the survivors of Armageddon, and the one's that will be resurrected & obey the rules that are layed out by Jesus Christ.

The world will end when God says it'll end. He's said it in His word. God does not lie; he is without sin, so when He says it's going to end, it will - just a matter of when - and 'when' is up to God.
The bible says that there will be earthquakes, famines, wars and rumors of wars. When you see these things happening, know that the end is near, but not yet. The world won't end until the last Gentile is saved, meaning, the last person on earth that will be saved by Jesus Christ has confessed their sins to God and has turned to Christ for salvation. Until God's will and plan has been fulfilled for this earth, it will not end - not yet.

I believe it is. You are right. In the Bible, there is something that says that more christians being falsely accused, more disasters, and sorts of that nature. The ice caps melting, the random shootings-then-suicide, the population slowly decreasing as more and more people use condoms, more and more teenagers getting abortions and using birth control. Yes. I believe the world is going to end very soon.

There are two meanings as the coming end of the World.
That is the end of the World as a home for evil.
And
That is the end of the World as physical inhabitable place.
The first one is that what God seeks that we do.
The second is that what evil seeks that we do.
As we can make happen one or the other.

The Mayans predicted 2300 years ago that the world will end December 21st 2012.
Apparently this is the year that the poles shift and reverse. So the north becomes the south. Just google 2012... it is a great subject to fall into a paranoia about and sell of all your belongings. Good luck!

Earth? No. (Ecclesiastes 1:4) Wicked mankind? Yes. (Psalm 37:9-11, 29; Proverbs 2:21, 22)

As a believer, I would have to say Biblically yes and scientifically, yes. However, I believe it is the responsibility for humans to achieve a singularity and unity with God and to enlighten others to shed the entrapment's that snare the heart, soul, and body to achieve peace with the God who is there and would share his consciousness with them and doing so they will reap blessings now and eternally.
Christianity has a positive future no matter what.
