With everything bad going on in the world ...

I have to say no.

I think The Lord is testing us, and giving us opportunities to prove our worth and make amends as best we can, but I don't think the world is coming to an end. 

The Bible gives signs for us to watch for, and I definitely think that some of the signs are in the process of being fulfilled.  The day and hour are obviously never going to be known, but we don't have to be ignorant of the 'days' we are living in. 

However, I don't know that I am ready to look up for Him to 'crack the sky' just yet, I think the whole Gospel to the whole world still needs to be fulfilled. 

What do you think???????

Yes,I really do believe we are living in the last days,The rider of the black horse is riding,,,If you dont know what that means Read Revelation 6:5,7..in the part where it says,''A quart of wheat for a days pay,and three quarts of barley for a days pay,and do not damage the olive oil,and wine!Thats talking about the High food prices,and the high gas prices,and Read Matthew 24;3,9 ....Everything that Jesus said would happen is happening..Its time to wake up peolpe.God bless.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.  We are NOWHERE NEAR the end of the world.  We may be flirting with disaster in the way we treat our environment, but the end of the world is not at hand.  EMPHATICALLY NO.

Charlatans and sensationalists and fear-mongers are spreading a sick message that is exciting to listen to, but it is simply not true.  The truth is boring and hard to learn, not flashy and easy like the doomsayers tell it.  They are like the stories of bogeymen and ghosts and monsters from childhood, except for adults.

If this were a perfect world, with no wars, no disasters, no storms, no famines, no accidents or murder of any kind, over 100,000 people would have to die of old age every day if the average lifespan was over a hundred years old.  No matter what happens, there are so many people on this planet, 6,600,000,000 and growing, that millions will die every year no matter what we do.

It is very easy to sensationalize any event, or group of related or unrelated events and say the world is in trouble.  "It is time for God to punish the wicked" kind of thing.  God will do what God wants, and if we believe in a God that would destroy the world on purpose, hurting the good with the bad, then I think that says something about the person doing the believing.  My God loves me and would not want me to suffer unnecessarily, and to suffer necessary ills with dignity.

Hi,
I am going to risk my neck..... Long ago I decided not to answer any question regarding to religion or to God (I found in the hard way that people can't tolerate an answer that doesn't fit their beliefs).  This time I'll break this decision and answer:  I don'k think that we should take any nature penomenon and relate it to the Lord.  I can't believe that: Huricans, Cyclones, earthquacks, Tsunamyies, are signs from God....  The good Lord is not communicating with us in an indirect way.... the Lord is communicating with each one of us staright via our inner parts (feelings / senses) and tells us what to do and what not to do..... 
Best personal regards,

OronD, you just got your first thumbs up from me.  Not that I don't always appreciate your answers, just that I bestow them so rarely.  This answer deserves my public praise, and I wish more people would heed your words.
