    We are definitely living in the last days. Looking around at all of the crazy things happening we see evidence of this. People are divided, showing so much hatred towards each other. Sickness, pestilence and hunger. Etc. Check out the brief article linked below. It will show you from your own Bible proof that we are living in the last days.

    The answer is no. 

    Only liberal snowflakes ask with this question because they live in Candyland.

    Think how people lived 100, 500 or 1000+ years ago when they had literally nothing, constant wars and all kind of brutal killer diseases like the Bubonic Plague.

    Yes, but nobody knows how long they will last. Could be millions of years.

    There will be no biblical end times nor any other times that the bible will be a part.  That is just yet another bible claim made by the persons who compiled the bible to frighten the gullible into submission.  End times is just another cult claim.

    The end has been nigh since humans have conceived of an end times. It is unpredictable and certainly not biblical. Our civilization may collapse but the planet will still be here. In 5 billion years the sun may expand into a red giant and destroy Earth but the universe will barely notice. We aren't that important.

    End times = cult nonsense

    Biblically we're told that the 'last days' began with Christ's return to Heaven. Before 70 A.D. Christians were told, "but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son". Those 'last days' have been running for nearly 2,000 years so far, yet are called 'days' and not 'years'. When 1,000 years occurs in the Bible, that is a symbolic number, not a literal one.

    In the Book of Revelation, that truth holds fast. We need to pay attention to the build-up of wars, plagues, famines and hatred against Christ's people as precursors to the final harvest of the earth, Christ's people being reaped safely, then the gathering of the earth's vine for crushing. Then the final 'seven last plagues' are poured out by seven angels, to mark the completion of God's wrath. It will be too late then for those not gathered in by the angels immediately prior to the gathering in of earth's ripe grapes. "The grapes of wrath". Have a read of chapters 14 & 15.

    But read with the understanding that everything is symbolic, not literal. The dragon's beasts are not animals but systems. Babylon the Great, which God's people must flee, is both a symbolic harlot, and a great city - satan's religious and political systems. For as long as you listen to people talking about a literal 3.5 years, and a literal 1,000 years etc, you will not understand.

    Source(s): Hebrews 1:1-4
  • There are two end times events. First was the end times for the Jewish System of things when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 C.E. and now the End Times are upon us and is the end of this ungodly system of things we live in now, Christ Jesus can return now at any time.

    Yes, the Rapture can take place at any moment now. The Biblical signs are clear for Jesus' return and the Rapture must precede it. Many Christians are 'Rapture ready' others need to awaken from their comatose state. Read [Matthew 24-25]; [Mark 13]; [Luke 21].

    Famines are predicted to increase due to the Coronavirus, and locusts swarming across the Middle East and Africa. However, Jesus mentions plagues or pestilence explicitly in [Luke 21]. Can we ignore this global pandemic? No.

    Numerous biblical texts speak of disturbances in the creation that disorient and trouble people. These disturbances have quite a range with earthquakes, floods (we are seeing a steady increase in the frequency and strength of them), and global warming. What are the effects of global warming: Scientists agree that the earth’s rising temperatures are fuelling longer and hotter heat waves, more frequent droughts, heavier rainfall, and more powerful hurricanes, tropical floods, wildfires, etc.

    Not to forget the present abundance of “lawlessness” -- unruly behavior (lack of discipline and respect) pervasive violence.

    Shutdowns all over the world brought the global economy to a standstill. We can see how the pandemic restrictions disrupted church attendance and corporate worship (globally). Are people blind?
