The Bible clearly outlines the events that will preceed the end of the world as we know it. Earthquakes, famimes and wars among others. We see them happening around us with increasing frequency and devastation effects. In the midst of all these events, the Son of Man will come as a thief in the night, when people least expect Him. Those who put their trust in the Son of God are looking to this blessed event that they will be with their Saviour.
Have a great day.

Are you quoting from Matthew 24, Mark 13 etc? I don't think natural calamities are happening with increasing frequency. Nor do I think the effect has been more devastating that before. I don't quite agree with some people who say that the world is getting worse and worse. I think it's very difficult to measure that. One can say that in average more people are killed in the past than now. Now the status of women is better; slavery of the old is gone; education is available for more people; there is more food and shelter; earthquake houses are constructed; cylone victims are taken care of; human rights record has improved much better etc etc.
Of course, since the universe will die out in future, in that sense the end is getting nearer.

We do not know when is the end of the world. According to some predictions, the end of the world would be on December 2012.But that was only predictions, we do not know if it is really going to happen or not.

It's nearer in one sense as the world will eventually die out.
But I can't agree with the kind of ending that's portrayed in movies/novel like Left Behind. The Left Behind kind of ending is hardly accepted among Christian theologians. I wonder if they did just for money... just as Dan Brown did his Code thing just for money. You know Brown did not believe what he wrote in his Da Vinci Code about Christianity and the Bible etc. People love suspense and conspiracy theory, and so the whole business of money making.

Yes. The signs of times are here and there a lot of things to come. Things that we can't comprehend with our human thoughts. We should be prepared.
