Christians, what are some of the signs, in your opinion, that we are living in the end times?

Why don't you read the following and then consider the world around you.

Matthew Chapter 24, 25

2 Timothy 3:1-5

===============

ETA: I'm not sure why you don't consider what the Bible has to say an answer, since you are asking the question of Christians. To quote those texts would create too long of an answer.

That should do you for a start.

Increase in wars and rumors of wars - The Middle East turmoil; Africa; Russia vs Ukraine; nuclear threats from Iran and North Korea and terrorist groups, etc. Israel's enemies are lining up against them (Psalm 83 & Ezekiel 38 and 39; Matthew 24:6-7)

Increase in false religions and false prophets, including the pope. His recent acception of evolution and homosexuality further prove that he's a false prophet. Besides him there are many other cult leaders claiming to be the Messiah (Matthew 24:4-5;11;23-24; 1 Timothy 4:1-3).

Increase in earthquakes in diverse places - In the last 3 years there have been relatively strong quakes in South Carolina, Virginia, and Oklahoma, places not normally known for earthquake activity. (Matthew 24:7)

Increase in diseases/pestilences - In the last twenty years we've seen increases in West Nile virus, Sars, now ebola. I recently read an article on Pakistan's polio problem; there is fear of a resurgence of smallpox.

Luke 21:11

Signs in the heavens, sun, moon, and stars - Recent asteroid near misses; last years meteorite explosion over Russia; recent solar flares; increase in demonic UFO activity (Luke 21:11 & 25-27).

Increase in floods/tsunamis (Luke 21:25).

Mankind's increasing depravity and rebellion against God. Increase in violence - kids roaming the malls and streets knocking people out "for fun", spree shootings can happen anywhere - schools, movie theatres, shopping malls, etc; Sexual immorality and perversion. People once knew that marriage was between a man and woman...not anymore they don't. (Romans 1:18-32; 2 Timothy 3).

Look at the scoffers here on Yahoo, but you'll see it on television, movies, magazines, radio...people brazenly mocking God (2nd Peter 3).

It all adds up. We're in the last days, Jesus Christ will soon return.

Please watch the clips below:

2 Timothy 3:1-4, (almost identical to the news broadcasts every day),'But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, 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, 4lbetrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power;and from these turn away".

The rise of Islam that beheads Christians and takes women as slaves to sell them (Rev 13 and 20). Also the surrounding of Israel by Islamic nations considering end times prophecy could not start until Israel was back in their homeland. Now that they are surrounded they can be exiled one last time. (Is and Ez). Don't believe me; read it for yourself.

Why are Christians looking for the end of times?

List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events

You just missed a few.

Presently, we are in the blood moon prophecies. They don't seem to be working out very well.

Not to worry, there are a few more coming up.

Sarah Palin almost became vice president - that is one of the signs, in my opinion, that we are living in the end times. Other than that, Jesus promised the world would end within a "generation" and while his followers were still alive.

Well? We're waiting?

There's nothing happening now that hasn't been happening for the last 2000 years.

The Tribe of Judah (also called the House of Judah) is in Israel. Now I am waiting to see the House of Israel (the tribes of the north) returning.

Also, the northern Middle Eastern area needs to settle in and create a 10 nation confederation. Then I will know that this Age is pretty much over, and the Great Tribulation is about to begin.

The "end times" for what? Religious idiocy?

Based on R&S, I would say we are not even close to the end times for religious indoctrinations.

chaos in our society. violence, fighting and nonsense killings.

Our world is now reaping what was sowed; today we see the same situation as with Christ on the cross 2,000 years ago. - > Smm
