I am not suggesting I know when the end will come. Just that it will. However, I know people who have claimed to have knowledge about the end, and the proximity of its arrival.
However the end comes, it will be brutal. Whether it is human caused, or nature, or otherwise, the end won't be kind to anyone.
I was unfortunate enough to have person of a specific belief about the end, and that we are led by the Anti Christ himself here in the US, post a bunch of specific warnings on my works, and message board threads. I think they were wrong, I disagree with their ideas, but, more so, I disagree with how it was done. Ultimately, to show people to the answers we can't push the information down anyone's throat. No matter the severity of the end, we have to be seen with compassion, not hate, for others. We have to be a beacon to others, a light in darkness. For the end will happen. But we do not alleviate the threat, nor cause awakenings in others by screaming and threatening.
There are many books about the end of the world, many movies, even video games and comic books. It isn't actually that forbidden of a subject that we cannot gain the world's attention by using a rational voice.
So if you feel we are in the era of the End Times, find your voice, your place to say it, and share your faith.

Luther once said that if he knew for a fact that Christ was coming tomorrow, it wouldn't stop him from planting an apple tree today.
People tend to get obsessed about the End Times -- in part, I think, because the Book of Revelation has such cool special effects in it. Like a Gojira movie, only bigger really. But the point of Revelation is not all the cool tribulations that are going to rain down on the Earth, but rather the reassurance that no matter how bad things get -- and make no mistake, they are going to get bad -- God is ultimately in control of history and he will see to it that the end of everything is not destruction, but rather a New Heaven and a New Earth.
So like Porkypine says: Don't take life too serious; it ain't nohow permanent.
@kurt wilcken true enough. people up there only use these tragedies and more to come doomsday tactics to keep people in fear. However, fear no longer resides in us, for Christ lives.
you have an insightful post there.:)
your sister in Christ,
