I think time is getting short for this system of things; 20 - 30 years, 100 years tops, but I don't know and God has been known to delay or relent through the prayers of the righteous.
The things you listed have been happening for a very long time now. I don't see where they are more prevelant now than say 20 years ago. I fully believe in the bible but I don't feel the end is near honestly.

They certainly have been happening for a long time, but it has to do with frequency and other signs. It seems these kinds of things are happening at a greater rate like "birth pangs" or contractions get more frequent as the time for the baby to be born gets closer. I think they are happening more frequently. Also, the events in the Middle East, rise of Islam, the Islamic Mahdi prophesy, all come together to remind us to do His will; He is coming.

In the following, I use you, not referring to you specifically.

Whether the day of Jesus' return is in the next second or 1000 years from now is not the question. When will your life be required of you, and will you be doing His will? Will you be found to be a "good and faithful servant?" Do you have Jesus as Savior and Lord, or is He just some myth to you. Those are pertinent now and until Jesus comes.

Amen.

We are warned about the end times and the persecution so that we might not fall away.
