Small signs to show The End Is Coming by 5minsmadness: 11:38am On Jan 31, 2015
I'm not a bible quoting christian, have never been good at it, but I'm sure my friends here can supply me with the scripture that says 'in the end times people will be lovers of themselves and not of God, selfish etc etc.'
Someone said the best trick the devil ever pulled was to convince man that he doesn't exist. He has done a pretty good job of that so much so that when things are happening in favour of evil around us we barely even notice it anymore.

Its easy to recognise wars and murders, rapes and outright violence. Its easy to recognise corruption on a large scale and the downfall of great leaders and economies. The thing that is more dangerous however is the subtle ways we are being 'preached to' into accepting evil and thinking there is nothing wrong with it. I have outlined below a set of things that have slowly and surreptitiously been placed into our daily lives that we don't even realise we are being brainwashed into believing such things are normal when they shouldn't be. By the time they are done when the mark of the beast is introduced and the antichrist announces himself, even christians will accept him whole heartedly.


1. The breaking of the church into denominations. Some people think this was good so as to make the gospel spread farther. I say a house divided on itself cannot stand.

2. Materialism in the church. Constant seeking of miracles instead of salvation, praying for a brand new car this year instead of purity of spirit, praying for your enemies to die instead of praying for them to find salvation. Tithing to make your pastors wealthy instead of tithing to help the people of God that are needy. Seeking positions in church for worldly recognition instead of looking for people who have a genuine thirst for the conversion and reaping of souls for the harvest.

3. The sexual revolution. Sex is suddenly nothing to be 'ashamed of'. Sex was never meant to be something to be ashamed of, but it wasn't meant to be public either. Sex is designed to be a private affair. The private parts are hidden by pubic hair and clothing because they are private. Now the more sexually perverse a person is the more he/she is considered to be exhibiting his/her 'freedom' . Pornography is everywhere, in our books, magazines, the internet, movies, even our kids are being corrupted with lewd images in their 'innocent' cartoons. Have you ever wondered why p0rn is so easily available? Its virtually free to browse and download millions of megabytes of porn movies now, not even clips. So much so that many of us cannot even recognise indecent behaviour when we see it in real life.

4. Cartoons corrupting our kids. This might sound laughable to you but keep an open mind for a moment. Look at the cartoons our children are being shown. Cartoons like 'adventure time' for example. Have you ever watched it? Of course not, you say; its for kids. I advice you to take ten minutes of your time to watch one episode and your will realise it is downright demonic. How about 'the adventures of bill and mandy'? Innocent right? Have you seen the recent episodes? In an episode of SpongeBob squarepants worms are seen coming out of his eyes! What's funny about that?


5. Evil is now good while good is evil.
There are new cartoons now that paint heroes in a bad light. Jack and the beanstalk---jack is now the thief while th giant was a friendly giant. Cinderella was actually full of pride and the evil stepmother was simply 'misunderstood'. Here's one that will touch you Disney watchers...remember frozen? That wonderfully inspirational movie that got every girl crying and chanting for female empowerment? The original story os from 'The snow queen'. And Elsa was no 'misunderstood' ice princess. She was a villain, a queen who would freeze little boys hearts and remove all love from them. 'Hans' represents the boy whose heart was frozen but now suddenly in this movie he is the scheming bad prince. Hmn.

There's a movie where angels are depicted as evil overlords and humans are supposed to rise up against them. Hmnn.

Same example can be seen in maleficient, Dracula untold etc etc. They are making it look like evil must have had a good reason for becoming evil. They are making a case subliminally and people don't even know it.


6. Identification numbers. Yeah, if we really need them why do they keep changing them? We have social security number, credit card numbers, bank account numbers; and now suddenly the idea that the numbers are too many is beginning to spring up. Why not one universal number for banks e.g BVN number? Have you done yours? Why not a number that will identify you uniquely as an individual and will help you transact business, receive medical care on emergency, help you get a job...it sounds reasonable right? I mean, its not as of some illiterate shepherds from 2000 years ago wrote a fairytale book predicting this exact same thing happening as a sign of the end times...any of these beginning to sound familiar?


There are more examples, you can add yours.

When the end comes most of us won't know it because we would be too used to it. For those few who notice the changing times and recognise it for what it really means, there is a question for you: Will You Be Ready?

What christians don't understand is that the world is never going to end. Your world ends when you die. The elite only put all those rules to keep the masses in check and as a matter of fact, there were more wars in the past and human beings will always remain human beings. Y'all are getting it confused because you now have access to information and get info on China in seconds. Bad things have always been existing because humans have animalistic traits. There's never going to be a time when there's total peace. The best you can get is your peace of heart.

And op, your points are quite myopic

What atheists don't understand is that their lies are getting old. The world is more rotten and more morally corrupt than it was in the past and no amount of acting 'Spartacus having sex in a table in front of a group of romans' to twist history will cover that.

Define the term 'myopic' and how it relates to this topic.

Well its true the end is coming and believers are not watching.
Mark 13-The lord said: watch.

No-one seems to believe any more, they are just living their everyday life's, either with the lord or without him.

Cards with chips are so far advanced they can track you from all angles.

The largest Computer on this planet is called the beast.
A number one control system, has the ability to brainwash all ages. setting their minds on a false reality.

Cameras are watching you on every corner, on the straight, even the highways etc.

Technology is that far advanced even televisions are watching you, when switch on, but not playing.

Satan's plan is to control every city, every country and every nation.

Cartoons, about daffy duck, showed the twin towels burning before it happen, other cartoons show different signs and wonders..

Movies can be used as warning signs, as evil as it may sound, but watch.

Deep impact, Armageddon were used as a tool, because on Sep 23-24 2015 in real life a large meteorite is heading towards earth.
Deep impact Armageddon movies, last minute warnings were given from Government-leaders, that so many died from the panic to run.
2012 movie, there came the end of the world, as the tidal wave smashed through the land, while volcanoes were irrupting.fire balls were flying in all directions.

Matthew 24-37, the lord say's on his return, it will be like in the day of Noah, Luke 17:28-38, and in the days of lot.

Today what warning, do these people received, before the disasters struck.

Who gave Japan warning when the wave hit, how many 1000's died.

When the wave hit Thailand, who gave them the last minute warning?
No-one.
There are many different movies showing many other disasters happening around our globe.
When will it happen, who knows-but its coming. Watch.

People don't realise the Lord has open a door for us the watch, given us these signs and wonders through movies, cartoons, media, and bible scriptures, Matthew 24- Mark 13- and Luke 21 so we know the end is near.

Satan's plan is to destroy our nations. Governments who are under the illuminati their plan is to destroy 95% of the worlds population, so without warnings given, Mother nature has done the job for them.
Climate Changes, chem-trials are sprayed into our airways prisoning us everyday, and people are not watching.
Marshal law, Agenda 21, is used as a control system, the meteorite faery Sep 23-24-2015 maybe the start of marshal law in the USA.

Fema camps have been built around our globe, under the Marshal law act, you have no right to be free.
Guillotines have been put in place, for those who refuse to come under the new world order.
In some countries they are now in use.

Leaders from every nation, will soon come under the new world religion.
Roman Catholic's, Catholic's, Jehovah witnesses, Mormons, Muslim's, even pentecostal preachers-pastors Freemasons, are joining together, becoming one nation-one religion.

The Pope's word's were Jesus is not the only way to Heaven.

Churches across the nations have twisted and turned bible scriptures, so their many 1000's of followers will end up in Hell.
Rich pentecostal Preachers-Pastors,are twisting and turning bible scriptures-robbing God through tithes and offerings.

One of the 10 commandments.
They shall not steal, setting a bad example towards God's people, building mega Churches and large mansions ,cars, motor cycles and aeroplanes by the dozens, Satan's plan for these wolves in sheep's clothing, so the rich become richer.

The Music industry is controlled by the illuminati, Freemasons, live music showing demonic signs and wonders across our globe so our young become under the brainwashing of Satan's plan.
And its working.

WATCH.....
Jesus Christ is Lord.

Well, cartoons are created basically to expand the imagination of kids. Aside from that, kids that watch lots of cartoons tend to speak English more fluently than kids who don't because most cartoons are featured in English and even as an adult you can learn some new words. Personally, I've gained a lot of knowledge from watching cartoons such as pinky and the brain, dexter's lab, spiderman etc. I have a friend who once came across the same equation he saw in pinky and the brain in his SAT exams. I really don't get why Nigerians always want to condemn cartoons as evil. Its plain silly to me. No offence

1. The breaking of the church into denominations. Some people think this was good so as to make the gospel spread farther. I say a house divided on itself cannot stand.

If you count the catholic church as a denomination, then the first christian denomination was formed about 400 years after Christ died. That's 1600 or so years ago. A bit too early for the end times, if you ask me.

If you don't include the catholic church as a denomination but rather consider it the original church from which others came, then the first christian denomination was formed in the 1500's, which is still rather early for your end time, no?

2. Materialism in the church. Constant seeking of miracles instead of salvation, praying for a brand new car this year instead of purity of spirit, praying for your enemies to die instead of praying for them to find salvation. Tithing to make your pastors wealthy instead of tithing to help the people of God that are needy. Seeking positions in church for worldly recognition instead of looking for people who have a genuine thirst for the conversion and reaping of souls for the harvest.

I submit that you do not know of a time when people went to church solely for salvation/purity of spirit. The congregation have always been that way. Its not a recent development.

3. The sexual revolution. Sex is suddenly nothing to be 'ashamed of'. Sex was never meant to be something to be ashamed of, but it wasn't meant to be public either. Sex is designed to be a private affair. The private parts are hidden by pubic hair and clothing because they are private.

Stop being a prude. Pourn is easily available is due to the internet, and the nature of the market for pornographic material. Pornography has been around for longer than you can imagine.

4. Cartoons corrupting our kids. This might sound laughable to you but keep an open mind for a moment. Look at the cartoons our children are being shown. Cartoons like 'adventure time' for example.

What's funny about that?

It does sound laughable. I've seen adventure time, I find it weird and trippy, but not demonic. Billy and Mandy is innocent, though a bit mature. If your kid sees maggots coming out of the head of a dead rat/road kill etc, have they had a demonic experience?

5. Evil is now good while good is evil.
There are new cartoons now that paint heroes in a bad light. Jack and the beanstalk---jack is now the thief while th giant was a friendly giant.

The story teller can choose to write his story however he likes. What you fail to mention is that good tends to triumph over evil in these cartoons. Its not only a matter of who used to be the good guy or who was the bad guy. We all love a happy ending.

6. Identification numbers. Yeah, if we really need them why do they keep changing them? We have social security number, credit card numbers, bank account numbers; and now suddenly the idea that the numbers are too many is beginning to spring up.

What prophecy is this?

I think what you're doing is that having concluded that there is in fact an end time for which there will be signs, you are forcing these insignificant facts to fit your expectations.

Ok, first of all, I LOVE cartoons. I have watched everything from Tom and Jerry to Disney's Spirit, Stallion of the Cimaron. I have watched thundersub, voltron, superted, ben 10, justice league, naruto series, bleach series,ed, edd, and eddie, phineas and ferb pinkie and the brain etc etc etc. Trust me when I say you are speaking to a cartoon enthusiast here.


All the cartoons you mentioned are nice. They are funny and actionpacked. Those are not the cartoons I am talking about.

Most of the cartoon from Cow and Chicken downwards are disgusting and some are obscene and it gets worse as you get closer to 2014. In The Regular show, a big armed guy fights with death(a fearful drawing, not funny at allllll of death) over his friend who has died. This is not a manga, it is a kid's program. Death is shown with sharp teeth and hollow eyes. I am an adult and I had to change the channel, it was horrible.

Bill and Mandy was initially a bit horrifying but now it is downright terrifying with bill dying and going to hell and resurrecting and dying etc. With terrible demon dolls coming to torture Mandy. Watch it and tell me it is entertainment for your two year old.


Permit me to share two pictures of adventure time, the cartoon I am talking about. I honestly dont think you have watched it. The original writer of adventure time quit because he said he was beginning to lose his mind. The worm you see in the picture down there enters your ear while you sleep and feeds on your soul until your brain is mush, what's funny about that? The princess in black sucks life out of everything around her when she becomes too emotional like being in love or being angry etc. the king with the hat and pointy teeth oh boy, you need to see what he does. You are an adult that loves cartoons it seems. I will advice you to watch it and be honest and tell me if you think the cartoon is for kids even though it is obviously targetted at them.


Just as a sidenote, cartoon for kids early on is bad for them. TV for kids before the age of 2 is bad for thier speech and cognition centres. Google it up. I thought the same as you concerning that aspect but I know better now.

If you count the catholic church as a denomination, then the first christian denomination was formed about 400 years after Christ died. That's 1600 or so years ago. A bit too early for the end times, if you ask me.

If you don't include the catholic church as a denomination but rather consider it the original church from which others came, then the first christian denomination was formed in the 1500's, which is still rather early for your end time, no?



I submit that you do not know of a time when people went to church solely for salvation/purity of spirit. The congregation have always been that way. Its not a recent development.




Stop being a prude. Pourn is easily available is due to the internet, and the nature of the market for pornographic material. Pornography has been around for longer than you can imagine.



It does sound laughable. I've seen adventure time, I find it weird and trippy, but not demonic. Billy and Mandy is innocent, though a bit mature. If your kid sees maggots coming out of the head of a dead rat/road kill etc, have they had a demonic experience?



The story teller can choose to write his story however he likes. What you fail to mention is that good tends to triumph over evil in these cartoons. Its not only a matter of who used to be the good guy or who was the bad guy. We all love a happy ending.



What prophecy is this?

I think what you're doing is that having concluded that there is in fact an end time for which there will be signs, you are forcing these insignificant facts to fit your expectations.

Boom. I don't think I could have said this any better myself, though I do have something to add.

Evil exists within reason, no one or no thing is evil for its sake alone. Evil has a root, or are you trying to claim that humans act evil because it is inherent for them to do so? Without any true cause?

Be it jealousy, envy, wrath, lust and so on.

Anyway, if the end time is near, which I so sincerely doubt that the world will end anytime soon... Humans will be the catalyst that brings upon our own destruction.

For if Christians and theists in general act righteous out of a sense of gaining an eternal reward in heaven... Then humanity has gone beyond saving.

No.
You are calculating accirding to your time, human time. I am talking God time here, He who sees a thousand of our years as one day. I dont expect the rapture to take place tomorrow, I'm not saying you should lock yourself in your room and hide under your bed, I am saying the end time is approaching and the signs spoken of in the Bible is slowly coming to pass. Recognise evil for what it is so that you will not be decieved.

Even among the apostles of Christ there was a traitor. Yes, not all who call out Lord Lord are true christians, this has been true since the beginning of christianity, however it is much worse now. Before we had true missionaries who were willing to go into the jungle to preach at no profit to themseves, christians who were willing to die for christ if it came to it. can you say the same of today? Can you truthfully say of all the 50 churches on your street even one preaches the undiluted word of God about salvation? Arent 90% if not almost all of them in for the profit? It has never been this bad sir.

And what is wrong in me being prude? If that is what it takes for people to laugh at me for being modest concerning sexuality sir then I daresay it is a light cross to carry for me to enter heaven!

You can easily snap the picture of the dead rat with maggotscoming out of its head, enlarge it and frame it and put it in your kid's room as decoration since you see nothing wrong with it.

What you did here is rationalization. You are turning a blind eye away from porn and disgusting cartoons. You admit Adventure time is wierd and trippy but not demonic. Funny for an adult to say a cartoon is wierd no? You admit Bill and Mandy is a bit mature. hahaha. And you are an adult admitting this. What do you think your child's perspective will be?


The story teller can choose to write his story however he likes. What you fail to mention is that good tends to triumph over evil in these cartoons. Its not only a matter of who used to be the good guy or who was the bad guy. We all love a happy ending.
Of course. So it wont matter in the film they are releasing in 2017 where the devil is actually the good guy and god is really the tyrant. The devil just wanted to do something different and god wouldnt let him. Poor devil. But as long as the film has a happy ending, no wahala.

Even then it still means that the end time began less than one or two days after Christ brought the message of salvation.

More instances of materialism in the church could also be because there are more church goers. Did you consider this alternative?

And what is wrong in me being prude? If that is what it takes for people to laugh at me for being modest concerning sexuality sir then I daresay it is a light cross to carry for me to enter heaven!

If you're a prude you see almost all sexual behaviour in a negative light.

Its the food chain. Maybe you'll put a lock on nat geo for your kids.

Weird, trippy, or mature are still a long way from demonic. They are simply harder to understand from the child's perspective. Such cartoons have been around since we've had cartoons.

Of course. So it wont matter in the film they are releasing in 2017 where the devil is actually the good guy and god is really the tyrant. The devil just wanted to do something different and god wouldnt let him. Poor devil. But as long as the film has a happy ending, no wahala.

They'd still have to paint the Devil as good. Besides, there have always been people who don't agree with God's manners. Even if the creators of the cartoon are Satanic, is that new?

Read Revelations 13:15-18

I've seen the verses. In order for you to be correct, every number issued to anybody must resolve to six hundred and sixty six somehow. People would also have to be unable to buy or sell anything, even akara or monkey tail, without that number. You know that is not the case.

4. Cartoons corrupting our kids. This might sound laughable to you but keep an open mind for a moment. Look at the cartoons our children are being shown. Cartoons like 'adventure time' for example. Have you ever watched it? Of course not, you say; its for kids. I advice you to take ten minutes of your time to watch one episode and your will realise it is downright demonic. How about 'the adventures of bill and mandy'? Innocent right? Have you seen the recent episodes? In an episode of SpongeBob Squarepants worms are seen coming out of his eyes! What's funny about that?


5. Evil is now good while good is evil.
There are new cartoons now that paint heroes in a bad light. Jack and the beanstalk---jack is now the thief while th giant was a friendly giant. Cinderella was actually full of pride and the evil stepmother was simply 'misunderstood'. Here's one that will touch you Disney watchers...remember frozen? That wonderfully inspirational movie that got every girl crying and chanting for female empowerment? The original story os from 'The snow queen'. And Elsa was no 'misunderstood' ice princess. She was a villain, a queen who would freeze little boys hearts and remove all love from them. 'Hans' represents the boy whose heart was frozen but now suddenly in this movie he is the scheming bad prince. Hmn.

There's a movie where angels are depicted as evil overlords and humans are supposed to rise up against them. Hmnn.

Same example can be seen in maleficient, Dracula untold etc etc. They are making it look like evil must have had a good reason for becoming evil. They are making a case subliminally and people don't even know it.

Absolutely lovely article. The two most worrisome for me are these ones above. Years back, after watching Billy and Mandy, my elder sister turned to me and said, "Ishi, do you realise that Grim is the spirit of death"? It suddenly dawned on me that this cartoon is depicting death as something 'fun'. Death can be tamed and turned into your playmate, as 'Grim' The Grim Reaper is portrayed in the program.

The cartoon is dark humour anyway, but I find it very inappropriate for kids. I belong to the Voltron/G-Force generation, where cartoons were cartoons, not these horrid, demonic Japanese manga crap they're spewing these days. (Ironically Voltron is also a japanese cartoon)

What of Courage the Cowardly Dog?

I always thought the cartoons were funny,but deep down I always felt a bit uneasy about the dark themes and subject matter. And it's getting worse each year that passes. For Billy and Mandy...hm, that cartoon is down right demonic.

As for good now evil and vice versa...oh boy, tell me about it! I watched Dracula Untold last week and although the movie is very entertaining, it left me uneasy and puzzled. What is their purpose for this movie? Why are they romanticising evil?? Anyone can google Vlad the Impaler, one of the princes of Transylvania (who Bram Stoker based the character on) and see how absolutely evil and disgusting this fellow was. The movie painted Vlad in a more romantic light, and at the end you find yourself sympathising with Dracula. Gross.

What of Vampire Diaries and Twilight? Since when did it become 'cool' to be a blood sucking demon? How is it possible to be in a romantic relationship with the 'undead'?? There's no such thing as a 'good' vampire, period!! It's this kind of twisted analogy that is making today's generation lack the fear of God.

There's another movie which I can remember the name. I think Legion or something. Rebellion is praised and God is depicted as wicked deity who does not have the interest of man at heart. An angel rebels against God and Arch Angel Michael is portrayed as an evil warrior angel who will kill everything that stops him from killing a certain lady in the movie. At the end God rewards the rebellious angel by giving him back his angelic powers despite his rebellion.

If I recall, rebellion and pride is what got Lucifer kicked out God's presence.

It's now okay to be rebellious and disobedient, right?

All throughout the movie my spirit was disturbed as I watched, and immediately it ended I deleted it from my list forever. These days I'm always afraid of watching foreign music videos because one can never be sure of what one is watching, not with all these demonic symbols they keep flashing at us. Nigerian music videos are not better, because although we don't have to deal with demonic symbology, lyrics and contents is ZERO. Trash. They're dumbing us down.

What is happening here is man is being sub-consciously programmed to be receptive to the changing ideals of immorality, rebellion and wickedness, and they're doing quite a fine job of it with all these brain washing programmes we're exposed to.

Due to mass communications today we just hear more about disasters and problems than previously when there were just as many issues but no TV, telephone radio etc to spread bad news. Also our media (and our own morbid curiosity) focus on the bad and ignore the good.

There is not one bit more evil in the world today than when the Mongols slaughtered entire populations of cities, or millions of Africans were enslaved first by Arabs and then by Europeans.

End times indeed! They will still be preaching that it is imminent thousands of years from now with the same tired old vague justifications. (just as they have been preaching it for the last thousand years or so).

Sadly one day when it happens some ignorant religious zealot will say I told you so! I hope everyone else has time to kick the s##t out of him before it does end! cheesy

I'm not a bible quoting christian, have never been good at it, but I'm sure my friends here can supply me with the scripture that says 'in the end times people will be lovers of themselves and not of God, selfish etc etc.'
Someone said the best trick the devil ever pulled was to convince man that he doesn't exist. He has done a pretty good job of that so much so that when things are happening in favour of evil around us we barely even notice it anymore.

Its easy to recognise wars and murders, rapes and outright violence. Its easy to recognise corruption on a large scale and the downfall of great leaders and economies. The thing that is more dangerous however is the subtle ways we are being 'preached to' into accepting evil and thinking there is nothing wrong with it. I have outlined below a set of things that have slowly and surreptitiously been placed into our daily lives that we don't even realise we are being brainwashed into believing such things are normal when they shouldn't be. By the time they are done when the mark of the beast is introduced and the antichrist announces himself, even christians will accept him whole heartedly.


1. The breaking of the church into denominations. Some people think this was good so as to make the gospel spread farther. I say a house divided on itself cannot stand.

2. Materialism in the church. Constant seeking of miracles instead of salvation, praying for a brand new car this year instead of purity of spirit, praying for your enemies to die instead of praying for them to find salvation. Tithing to make your pastors wealthy instead of tithing to help the people of God that are needy. Seeking positions in church for worldly recognition instead of looking for people who have a genuine thirst for the conversion and reaping of souls for the harvest.

3. The sexual revolution. Sex is suddenly nothing to be 'ashamed of'. Sex was never meant to be something to be ashamed of, but it wasn't meant to be public either. Sex is designed to be a private affair. The private parts are hidden by pubic hair and clothing because they are private. Now the more sexually perverse a person is the more he/she is considered to be exhibiting his/her 'freedom' . Pornography is everywhere, in our books, magazines, the internet, movies, even our kids are being corrupted with lewd images in their 'innocent' cartoons. Have you ever wondered why p0rn is so easily available? Its virtually free to browse and download millions of megabytes of porn movies now, not even clips. So much so that many of us cannot even recognise indecent behaviour when we see it in real life.

4. Cartoons corrupting our kids. This might sound laughable to you but keep an open mind for a moment. Look at the cartoons our children are being shown. Cartoons like 'adventure time' for example. Have you ever watched it? Of course not, you say; its for kids. I advice you to take ten minutes of your time to watch one episode and your will realise it is downright demonic.

6. Identification numbers. Yeah, if we really need them why do they keep changing them? We have social security number, credit card numbers, bank account numbers; and now suddenly the idea that the numbers are too many is beginning to spring up. Why not one universal number for banks e.g BVN number? Have you done yours? Why not a number that will identify you uniquely as an individual and will help you transact business, receive medical care on emergency, help you get a job...it sounds reasonable right? I mean, its not as of some illiterate shepherds from 2000 years ago wrote a fairytale book predicting this exact same thing happening as a sign of the end times...any of these beginning to sound familiar?


There are more examples, you can add yours.

When the end comes most of us won't know it because we would be too used to it. For those few who notice the changing times and recognise it for what it really means, there is a question for you: Will You Be Ready?
good one op if only these gullible mankind will only look up and see how far they've been sold the wrong ideology without their knowledge,though the race itself is a personal thing.
