We're approaching the end time.

Think about the all the previous centuries after the death of Christ. They have been saying this over and over again, with as many, if not more circumstantial evidence to prove their point.

And wasn't it prophecised that:
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled" Matthew 24:34 (the end times)
"And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power." Mark 9:1

It still hasn't happened

Are the bible prophesies coming to pass in our time, then what should we do about it?

earthquakes, hurricanes
been happening since the begining of time, the mountains, volcanoes and the earth's natural features were created by these forces

islamic jihad suicide terrors
Islamic terrorists are just the latest in a long line of groups/people who have used this method of 'warfare'. From the Japanese kamikaze fighers to the tamil tigers. Even in Biblical times Samson killed himself in order to kill as many Philistines as possible.

Iran's plans to use nuclear weapons against enemies
They haven't even created the bombs yet, but wait a minute The US did use nuclear weapons twice on Japan during WW2 and the expected apocalypse did not happen

advances in technology thats bringing the us closer everyday
Since early man discovered fire, technology has always been with us and has continued to allow man to conquer and expand his environment.

incurable sickness and diseases
Most diseases started out as been incurable before someone eventually finds a cure or people develop immunity to it


Israel-Palestine Conflict
They've been killing themselves in that part of the world since biblical times (see old testament)


so the answer to your question about where the world is heading,? the same place it has always been heading since the begining of time...

It's easy to believe that "the end of this age of grace is near." Indeed, the Bible refers to this age in which we're living as "the last days." The times described in II Timothy 3:1-5 certainly sound like Planet Earth circa the 1990's - "This know, also, that in the last days perilous times shall come, for men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it; from such turn away."

And Jesus' own words, as chronicled in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 17 & 21, leave no doubt that we are living at the very threshold of cataclysmic change. We're told to watch for certain signs of the times: the advent of false prophets and widespread religious deception, international upheaval, an increase in great earthquakes, an onslaught of devastating plagues and famines and strange phenomena in the heavens and changing global weather patterns.

One hardly needs to be a Bible scholar or student of prophecy to see these signs in our world today. Just pick up your daily newspaper or turn on the television news! The evidence is all around us.

All the behaviours you mentioned has always been exhibited by mankind since the dawn of time. Even the Bible has ample evidence of this.

The only reason why the evidence is all around us is that we have access to so much information because of the internet and 24 hour news stations. If something happens in the world today it is flashed around the world within minutes.

think of all the major disasters that have happened in the last 1000 years and what the people who lived during those times would have thought

....

And this are just the ones recorded....

All u've listed are just natural disasters. We're talking of various man-made mishaps that have befallen men. I'll advice you read the book of revelations. Though so many of these things happened in the past, we are now seeing more of it today. What does that tell us? - The end time is drawing near.

First, please sum up all these man made mishaps?
Second, we will compare them to man made mishaps in the past, normalising for populations size, so that we can look at their relative weight in a historical context
Third, we'll look at whether or not that ratio is increasing today, both in absolute and in relative terms

Then, and only then can you make a valid comparison.

you want man-made mishaps that have befallen men, here's a list of wars started by men where thousands have perished over the past 1000 years -  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars

If you need more facts i'm willing to provide them

rofl that is so funny man

For those into the whole apocalypse thing, stumbled on this site http://www.abhota.info/end1.htm don't know who owns it/or their agenda but it makes for an interesting read...

Sorry I used the word "mishap". What I really meant is that so many things prophesied to happen in the end time are being manifested today. Examples:

Nations rising up against nations...
More and more weapons of mass destruction being invented..
False prophets arising...
People will start claiming to be God...
The whole world will start spending a common currency... (This is already taking place gradually)
And lots more..

All these are signs that show that we are already in the end time.

@ goodguy

Can you give a precise and concise overview of what you want to look at, not just general statements. You cannot possibly make any comparisons based on this

Once more, what you've been summing up has happened continuously since Biblical times.

Can't you explain why the precise prophecies I mentioned before did not happen?
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled" Matthew 24:34 (the end times)
"And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power." Mark 9:1

@goodguy you're so funny, really enjoying your posts

The whole world will start spending a common currency... (This is already taking place gradually)

Please tell me what currency this is? is this the Euro, Dollar or the Chinese Yuan

This was said

think of all the major disasters that have happened in the last 1000 years and what the people who lived during those times would have thought

Here's a brief list of such disasters (you can do a search on Google to get this info and more)

......long list of "natural" and "man made" disasters, etc.  and mention in other post of these either being cause by God or man...

It is well documented that many "diseases" are intentional to "thin out" population.  As is wars, bombings, airplane crashes (even those who hit high Towers) and many horrible things that have happened in the last 100 or so years.

Also, don't be so quick to blame "natural" disasters on God unless you have studied the use of Haarp located in Alaska  (and I hear there is a twin likeness in Russia/Siberria...? )

Search engine brought these up but there are many more

I was sidetracked looking at these sites myself...

Warning !! not for the weak of heart 

All I am trying to say is not to blame God for things you think man is not capable of because man is capable of anything and everything for the love of power and money...this will never change!!   

We are bringing on our own end (or others for us!) and many are not aware of this...

Think for yourselves and Trust your Maker

we are nearing the end of the world , the prophecies in the bible are coming to pass

it says when the end of the world is near perilious times shall come, kingdoms shall rise against kngdoms and nations against nation, there will be strife and wars, earthquake and so on
it even say that this generation shall not till this prophecy come to pass

certainly the end of the world is near and the devil is striving to make the world worse and worst everyday, so that he will win more people to himself

Please, do not create threads like these that only end up feeding the fanatics. As far as has been recorded, there has always been eath quakes and hurricanes. The mini-Jihads that are taking place today are nothing like the one that took place for almost one thousand years that ended up "showing the love of God to 1 billion" (More like forcing God on people). Countries have and would always attempt to develop more deadly weapons. The jews and the arabs have been in conflict for many centuries now. Stop making a big deal out of things that are happening now.

If you actually believe in God, tell him to stop screwing around and fix things. You people whine about kind and Merciful/{insert B.S.} but last time I checked, actions speak louder than words.

While you might be worrying about things today, God help you all if I ever get an Army. I will surely put an end to the madness.

Where is the world heading to?

The Sun?

Total destruction by fire.

That's where this world is heading to.
