WHEN Jesus was on earth, his disciples came to him and asked: "What will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?" He replied that there would be wars involving many nations, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, an increasing of lawlessness, false religious teachers misleading many, a hatred and persecution of his true followers, and a cooling off of the love of righteousness in many people. When these things would start to happen, it would indicate that Christ was invisibly present and that the heavenly Kingdom was at hand. This would be news—good news! So Jesus added these words as a part of the sign: "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."—Matthew 24:3-14.\nIn themselves, recent world happenings are bad, but what they signify is good, namely, Christ's presence. The conditions mentioned above started to be evident in that widely heralded year 1914! It marked the end of the Gentile Times and the beginning of the transition period from human rule to the Thousand Year (Millennial) Reign of Christ.\n "Critical times hard to deal with," \n BUT "then the end will come" \nThat there was to be a transition period is indicated by the 110th Psalm, verses 1 and 2, and Revelation 12:7-12. There it is shown that Christ would sit at God's right hand in heaven until the time for his becoming King. Then war in heaven would result in Satan's being cast to earth, bringing woe to the earth, and Christ would rule in the midst of his enemies. The complete end of wickedness would come by means of a "great tribulation," culminating in the war at Har-Magedon and followed by Christ's Thousand Year Reign of peace.—Matthew 24:21, 33, 34; Revelation 16:14-16.\n"But know this," the Bible says, "that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away."—2 Timothy 3:1-5.\nSome may argue that these things have happened before in human history, but the fact is that they have never occurred to the same extent. As the historians and commentators say, there has never been a time on earth like the one experienced from 1914 onward.  The woes have been far more extensive than ever before. Moreover, as to other features of Christ's sign of the last days, these facts should be considered: The earth-wide proclamation of Christ's presence and Kingdom has been of a magnitude unprecedented in history. Persecution for preaching has never equaled that visited upon Jehovah's Witnesses. Many hundreds of them were executed in Nazi concentration camps. To this day Jehovah's Witnesses are under ban in some places, and in others they are arrested, imprisoned, tortured, and killed. This is all part of the sign Jesus gave.\n\nAs foretold at Revelation 11:18, 'the nations have become wrathful' against Jehovah's faithful Witnesses, and this indicates that Jehovah's "own wrath" will be expressed against those nations. This same scripture says that God will "bring to ruin those ruining the earth." Never before has there been a time in human history when the earth's capacity for sustaining life has been threatened. However, now it is different! Many scientists have warned that if man continues to pollute the earth, it will become uninhabitable. But Jehovah "formed it even to be inhabited," and he will get rid of the polluters before they complete their

I don't know what time the world is supposed to end on Dec. 21, 2012, according to the Mayan calendar.  However, there appears to be some controversy about this signaling the end of the world:\n\n"The end of the 13th baktun is conjectured to have been of great significance to the Maya, but does not mark the end of the world. According to the Popol Vuh, a sacred book of the Maya, we are living in the fourth world. The Popol Vuh describes the first three creations that the gods failed in making and the creation of the successful fourth world where men were placed. The Maya believed that the fourth world would end in catastrophe and the fifth and final world would be created that would signal the end of mankind."\n\nThe last creation ended on a long count of 13.0.0.0.0. Another 13.0.0.0.0 will occur on December 21, 2012, and it has been discussed in many New Age articles and books that this will be the end of this creation or something else entirely. However, the Maya abbreviated their long counts to just the last five vigesimal places. There were an infinitely larger number of units that were usually not shown. When the larger units were shown (notably on a monument from Coba), the end of the last creation is expressed as 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0, where the units are obviously supposed to be 13s in all larger places. In this age we are only approaching 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.13.0.0.0.0, and the larger places are nowhere near the 13s that would match the end of the last creation. (Schele and Friedel 1990: 430)\n\nThis is confirmed by a date from Palenque, which projects forward in time to 1.0.0.0.0.0, which will occur on 13 October, 4772. The Classic Period Maya obviously did not believe that the end of this age would occur in 2012. According to the Maya, there will be a baktun ending in 2012, a significant event being the end of a 13th 400 year period, but not the end of the world.

Many of the bible prophecies have already come to pass including the return of the Jews to Israel. Everything needed for the mark of the beast is in place and we are seeing increased weather conditions and earthquakes all of which are also in the bible. I truly believe we are in the last days. To read it for yourself, turn to revelations and Daniel. God does not tell us the exact time but gives us many of the end time signs.

Nah - I think we've been in the "last days" for a long time.  What is a day to God?\n\nEvery generation has it's apocalyptic signs.  Only God knows for sure.  Since he loves me, I try not to worry too much about things over which I have no control.

The bible says only the father knows when the end will be. And it gives us the signs to look for for to tell us whn the end is near. Take a look around, see what is going on in the world today, violance, hunger, wars, distruction against the church, etc. We are living the tribulation already , it has already begun. read the boobk of Revolations. Are you really prepared???

According to the Bible, no one knows the day or hour of the end of times.  There are too many things that have to take place before the end comes.  At some point, we may be able to predict it, but God's timetable is His and He will do it in His time, when it is the most appropriate.  Anyone who tries to tell you when the end of times will come, will be proven wrong.   There have been many churches, like the Jehovah Witnesses, who have predicted it over and over and were all wrong.  People have been predicting it since the Apostles were around and we are still here.

I believe we are living in the last days, if you read the Bible you will see that a lot of the prophecies have come to pass.  It may be 10 or 20 more years but yes, I do believe these are the end times.

Apocalypse 22:21. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen\n...because its finally the end.

All things are in place for the 100% fullfillment of end time prophecy according to The Word of God, The Bible.  Before The Gog Magog War mentioned in Ezek 38 & 39, I believe that there will be a mid east war (Amos 1 & Isaiah 17) that will change the demagraphics of the middle east very quickly.  The likely soon confrontation with Iran; could very well be that spark which allows the roman anti-christ to rise up suddenly and confirm a 7 year peace treaty with Israel.  ... and there is one who has authored a 7 year peace treaty, and is about to confirm it by Jan. 1st at the latest!  He has come into power by Recommendation 666.  For more info, see my sources below.... those who do not know Jesus Christ as your Savior, accept Him into your life, right now, and don't delay!  He loves you!

No one knows when the end of time will be, only God the Father does. The Bible says He will come like a thief in the night. It also states He will return at a time when we wouldn't think it would happen. That is why I try to point as mant people to Jesus as I can. Time is running out, we are one day closer to being"HOME." There is nothing in the Bible taht must be fulfilled in order for Jesus to return. We need to stop looking for signs, and start listening for the "sound". He shall appear with a mighty trumpet blast, and call His children home. As a Christian, I cannot wait...it's gonna be wonderful. I am worried about the lost, however. It's my sincere prayer that all will call upon the name of the Lord to be saved.

We're indisputedly in the end times at this very moment!\n\nBecause God's attention has always been centered on Israel and His chosen people, the easiest indicators are to look at the prophesies pertaining to them.  For example, Jesus' short parable of the fig tree at Matthew 24:32-35 speaks of a day when Israel (symbolized by the fig tree) begins to sprout leaves, i.e. is regenerated as a nation.  Israel announced last year that, for the first time in almost 2,000 years, there are more Jews living there than in any other country in the world.\n\nFurther, Jesus tells us in verse 33 that:  "when you see all these things, know that it [His return] is near—at the doors!"  In order to understand what "these things" are, you have to read Matthew 24 and 25 (and the parallel Gospel verses in Luke and Mark), AND the OT prophesies regarding the end times.\n\nHere's an easy to understand web page that fully explains why THIS generation is the generation Jesus refers to in the parable of the fig tree:\n\nhttp://www.raptureready.com/rap101.html\n\nI hope this helps.  Peace.\n\nEDIT:  "Kjelstad," you've taken that reference totally out of context.  Jesus was referring to those who would witness His transfiguration.

when the world comes to an end?

Zealous Christians have been predicting 'the second coming' and the end of the world since Jesus' time.\n\nIt's been 2000 years.\n\nAre you going to start living in reality, or are you still waiting for the world to end and you be given everything you desire in heaven?

I think weve been heading to the end times since Jesus was on Earth. Everyone since then thought they were living in the end times, just like some now do, so thats nothing new. i dont think weve been living it this whole time, but rather living in what proceeds it. Hope that makes sense.

Interesting scripure. But I'm also interested in this: the term 'last days' has been mentioned, and keeping in mind two things: the lord's overwhelming power to stretch and shrink time, combined with the fact that the last 2000 years there have been scoffers like mentioned above, when exactly will these 'days' end? This could take thousands of years, or be in a minute. But in that very minute a 'scoffer' *could* convert to the true faith, so if the lord is truly patient, he'd wait that minute too, or those thousands years, else it wouldn't be fair, I'd say.\n\nAnd tell me this: I am no scoffer, but in your eyes I'd probably be. But which of my desires are actually evil? My strongest desires are that people all over the world be stopped by blind judging other people, that people actually think before they act, that they take other people in mind when they take decisions that might effect them, in short that they respect other people and let them be. Another desire of mine is that helping people develop themselves, seek out their potentials, and enhance them, that they enjoy living in this beautiful world, and teach other people to enjoy too.\n\nBut since I don't need Jesus to actually do this, I am truly an ungodly man and I shall be destroyed by your lord.\n\nIf I'm to be judged by someone who doesn't look at my actions or my desires behind them, but at my lack of faith, and still wants to destroy me, please, let him do his thing, for I have nothing to be ashamed of and I rather live in hell knowing I have done right, than living in heaven for being a hypocrite.
