Are we in the end times described by Christ?

Question

"Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."

Massageman · Accepted Answer

One thing is 100% certain- as time goes onward, we are getting closer.
So many of Jesus' prophecies in the Bible have come to pass or are continuing onward.

Jesus said that the last days would be preceded by several things: many false Christs would come, deceiving many; we would “hear of wars and rumors of wars”; and there would be an increase in “famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places. All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:5-8). Today’s news is full of false religions, warfare, and natural disasters. We know that events of the tribulation period will include all that Jesus predicted (Revelation 6:1-8); current events seem to be a build-up for greater trouble ahead.

Paul warned that the last days would bring a marked increase in false teaching. “In later times, some will abandon the faith, and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons” (1 Timothy 4:1). The last days are described as “perilous times” because of the increasingly evil character of man and because of people who actively “oppose the truth” (2 Timothy 3:1-9; also see 2 Thessalonians 2:3). The list of things people will be in the last days—lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power—(2 Timothy 3:1-2) seems to fit our modern age exactly.

Can there be any doubt that the prophecies concerning apostasy are being fulfilled? Our 21st-century world has embraced moral relativism, a philosophy which is tainting even the church. For example, many denominations are having a hard time defining marriage as being between one man and one woman as explained in the Bible, and many religious leaders today are openly supporting homosexuality. The Bible has become subordinate to the modern church’s quest for a more appealing, reader-friendly “truth.” These are indeed “perilous times” spiritually.

The formation of the European Union—and the fact that we have a reunified Germany—is very interesting in light of biblical prophecy. The “ten toes” of Daniel 2:42 and the ten-horned beasts of Daniel 7:20 and Revelation 13:1 are references to a “revived” Roman Empire which will hold power before Christ returns. Although the precise political structure has yet to be formed, the pieces can be seen falling into place.

In 1948, Israel was recognized as a sovereign state, and this, too, has ramifications for the student of Scripture. God promised Abram that his posterity would have Canaan as “an everlasting possession” (Genesis 17:8), and Ezekiel prophesied a physical and spiritual resuscitation of Israel (Ezekiel 37). Having Israel as a nation in its own land is important in light of end-time prophecy, because of Israel’s prominence in eschatology (Daniel 10:14; 11:41; Revelation 11:8). Ref- got questions. org

Let's see:
1. Wars, unrest, and fighting: "You will hear of wars and rumours of wars... Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom" (Matthew 24:6,7; Luke 21:10).
2. Famines, pestilences (disease epidemics), and earthquakes (Matthew 24:7; Luke 21:11).
3. General lawlessness: "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold" (Matthew 24:12).
4. Anxiety and worry about the future: "men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming on the earth" (Luke 21:26).
5. Disrespect for authority: "In the last days perilous times will come: men will be... disobedient to parents (2 Timothy 3:1,2).
6. Religious hypocrisy: "In latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their consciences seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with Thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth" (1 Timothy 4:1-3).
"Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power (2 Timothy 3:4,5).
7. Lots of preaching about God and His kingdom: "This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come (Matthew 24:14).
All these things occur nowadays at a scale unprecedented in human history; to deny this is to lie to oneself. The Bible says too: "Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together" (Matthew 24:28).

Are we in the end times described by Christ?

Apparently it’s the beginning of the END TIMES. First we need to meet an Anti-Christ.
A character that will actually impress and be admired by the global population. Not just the United States. Someone who will be loved by all countries and followed.

And that hasn’t even happened. Hitler, Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber and Donald Trump were not the Anti-Christ at all.

It’s someone who will be adored Globally.

Literally every generation of christians have claimed that they are the generation that would see 'the end times'. All of them were wrong. And so is this generation.

Honestguyopen · Answer

All the signs of the end times that Jesus spoke of are occurring now more than ever. Earthquakes, food shortages, nation will rise against nation, men lovers of self, of money, no natural affection, and having a form of worship but proving false to its power.
Have we always seen these things on their own from time to time? Yes. But never all at once before now, as a composite sign. Never on such a grand scale have we seen so many of these things come so strongly and so frequently. There can be no doubt that the system of things we know and live in will soon bow to God's kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven.

So thank God for that!

slatyb · Answer

If you are asking if this is the last decade, it’s extremely unlikely. People have been predicting the end for about 2000 years and it hasn’t happened yet. There’s no reason to believe it’s different now. In many ways
things today are better than ever, although of course there are still pockets of misery.

Wade12345 · Answer

There is no such thing as the End of Time in Old Testament prophecy.

The Covenants with Noah and Moses are "EVERLASTING TO PERPETUAL GENERATIONS" This means the God of Noah and Moses promised NEVER to destroy life on EArth again... not ever... not under any circumstances... FOR EVER.

Stop falsely prophesying the end of time. It's a lie. Jesus was a liar and a false prophet.

GOD IS NOT A MAN NEITHER THE SON OF MAN.

Exterminatore · Answer

According to the Bible, we’ve been in the last days since at least the time of the apostle John.

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It seems like whenever things get bad it's the end of times. I think people use the idea of the end of times to ensure people go to church and give more money to the church.

WhatMeow · Answer

Jesus would have had to exist in the first place? There is no proof that he was an actual person. All of the gospels were written anonymously and the man purported to be Jesus never wrote a gospel about what he was preaching?

nawtee_me · Answer

Yes and no. No one knows the hour or the day but you can know the time is near. The grate tribulation starts with the emergence of the anti- Christ when the one world government and one world currency comes about.

I think the end will come not from the wrath of God but from the ignorance of man. We'll be long gone before the sun blows up.

No, because he was describing what he thought would happen during the first century, not the 21st. See Matthew 16:28 and 24:34 for evidence of this.
