There are many websites that speculate about Christian eschatology or end times theology and that speculate as to whether we are indeed in those times now. However each person, expert or site has their own interpretation or views about what, when and how the end times are supposed to play out.

Our goal is two fold. First to point out the news of the day that may point out in some fashion whether we are indeed living in or getting closer to the much talked and prophesied about Biblical end times. Second, we will point to and discuss the various views that exist. .It is not our goal to be negative nor to point to every single theory but to discuss views that are credible. There are many different views and many people staunchly believe their view as totally correct. However it is our view that no one likely has it all correct and that each person or group may have some parts correct and have a good understanding of what the Bible says and have reasonable theories as to how some events might play out We also welcome you to share your thoughts on end time scenarios.

Please look around the site and discover all that you can about the end times.

Are we living in the end times?

Many people have thought so for quite a long time, in fact since Jesus first warned of the end. It’s not even limited to just Christianity, other religions and people outside of the church have been worried about the end of the world as well. Indeed many now even speculate over December 21 st 2012, which is the end of the long, and accurate Mayan calendar and some believe the end of the world.

What does this all mean though? While it is true that the Mayan calendar was created long ago and the Mayans were very good at using their calendar to predict things such as eclipses. The Mayans were also seemed to be very good at astronomers. The end of their calendar is based on a planetary alignment that modern day astronomers are only beginning to understand. However this really doesn’t make for any reason to be there is validity to the point the world will end. Many other groups also believe the world will end based on politics or climate changes but politics has always been volatile and the climate really is a very large system that is not likely to be manipulated very much by man.

However those in the church have always speculated about Jesus returning and the end of the age. This is a time when those who believe in Jesus as the son of God and their personal savoir will be taken to be with him, and Satan (Lucifer) and his Antichrist will be defeated in the battle of Armageddon and those who don’t know Christ will lost forever for their sins because they have not accepted Christ’s death to atone for their sinfulness.

The believers while Jesus was alive thought that Christ would be returning soon. Many people have thought this throughout history. The Millerites which later become the Seventh Day Adventists have at their beginning a history of date setting that first set that Jesus would return by 1844. Even recently some well known preachers have set dates for Jesus to return and those dates have come and gone.

Jesus specifically said that no man knows the hour or the day of his coming. So know one can know when exactly Jesus will return. However he did give us signs of the times to watch for, so I believe we can know the season of the end time. Otherwise why were we given signs of the end times? Below I will list some of the signs to watch for and you can decide for yourself weather you think we are in the “end times.”

In the New Testament in the book of Mathew Chapter 24 Jesus talks about the end. You should really read the whole chapter but here are some key signs.

Birth Pains (wars and rumors of wars, famines and earthquakes in various places)

Verse 6-8 “ You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains”

Love of many will grow cold

Verse 12 “ Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold”

Gospel to be preached to the world

Verse 14 “ This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come”

False Christs

Verse 5 “For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many ”

Verse 23 and 24 “Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect”

Israel Reborn (this did not happen until 1948)

Verse 32 – 34 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”

Israel is often referred to as the fig tree in the Bible. Many people think this passage refers to when Israel became a nation again. Read the prophecies in the Old Testament book of Ezekiel chapters 36 and 37.

Increase in travel and knowledge

Daniel chapter 12 verse 4 "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase."”

Great falling away

2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 verse 3 “ Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction”

This verse is warning people not to believe that Jesus has come back because it will not happen until the apostasy and the man of lawlessness is revealed. Apostasy is when someone leaves the faith, this apostasy is referred to as the apostasy and will be many leaving the Church of Christ.

Roaring seas

What does this mean?

Quite simply you really need to be ready, in several ways. If you're not a believer in Jesus, there may not be a lot of time for you to become one before he comes back. Some believe that Jesus may return at any moment while others think he will not return until somtime during, in the middle of, or at the end of a time of tribulation that will last seven years. No one knows how much time they have before their life is over so no matter what, now is the time to find the true God. If anyone is given time to live during the tribulation however it may be far easier to accept Christ now rather than then. Second, even if you are a Christian, you need to prepare for the idea that Jesus may not come back before the seven year tribulation and that tough times may lay ahead for you even before the tribulation starts. Even before the seven year tribulation, birth pangs should increase and things will get worse on the earth. God gave us prophecy to know ahead of time what to expect and to trust Him.
