Did it not happen in Ghana, Venezuela, Argentina etc before it landed her men you do not want to see.

See self denial at its best. You obviously are talented in being in denial

No I am not in denial. Just not over excited. I've been a believer since 1989 and I have seen waves of euphoria come and go. If you think the end is now, I am happy for you. But should it not be now, please continue to be excited for God's things. For me, I just want to be more attuned to his presence today than looking into the future. One day at a time.

So no need to complain.

Respectfully, you do not like to see the Truth

If you say 89 then you ought to have seen the fulfillment of the outpouring of The Holy Spirit and when it ceased. Yet you missed it

Then you missed the fulfillment of the prophecy of Abominations and now buying and selling.

Seeing is also part of believing!

What Is the Sign of “the Last Days,” or “End Times”?

The Bible describes events, conditions, and attitudes that would mark “the conclusion of the [current] system of things,” or “the end of the world.” (Matthew 24:3; King James Version)

The Bible calls this time period “the last days” and the “time of the end,” or “end times.”—2 Timothy 3:1; Daniel 8:19; Easy-to-Read Version.

What are some Bible prophecies about “the last days”?

The Bible foretold many things that together would be “the sign” to identify the last days. (Luke 21:7) Consider some examples:

War on a large scale.

Jesus foretold: “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.” (Matthew 24:7) Similarly, Revelation 6:4 foretold a symbolic horseman representing warfare that would “take peace away from the earth.”

Famine.

Jesus foretold: “There will be food shortages.” (Matthew 24:7) The book of Revelation foretold an additional symbolic horseman, whose ride would result in famine on a large scale.—Revelation 6:5, 6.

Great earthquakes.

Jesus said that there would be “earthquakes in one place after another.” (Matthew 24:7; Luke 21:11) These great earthquakes around the world would cause suffering and loss of life on an unprecedented scale.

Disease.

According to Jesus, there would be pestilences, or epidemics of “terrible diseases.”—Luke 21:11, Contemporary English Version.

Crime.

Although crime has existed for centuries, Jesus foretold that in the last days, there would be an “increasing of lawlessness.”—Matthew 24:12.

Ruining of the earth.

Revelation 11:18 foretold that mankind would be “ruining the earth.” They would do so in many ways, not only through violent and corrupt actions but also by bringing harm to the environment.

Deteriorating attitudes.

At 2 Timothy 3:1-4, the Bible foretold that people in general would be “unthankful, disloyal, . . . not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride.” These attitudes would reach such extremes that the era could rightly be described as “critical times hard to deal with.”

Breakdown of the family.

At 2 Timothy 3:2, 3, the Bible foretold that many people would have “no natural affection” for their family and that children would be “disobedient to parents.”

Diminished love of God.

Jesus foretold: “The love of the greater number will grow cold.” (Matthew 24:12) Jesus meant that love for God would grow cold in most people. Likewise, 2 Timothy 3:4 says that in the last days, such ones would be “lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God.”

Religious hypocrisy.

At 2 Timothy 3:5, the Bible foretold that people would appear to worship God but would not truly live by his standards.

Increased understanding of Bible prophecies.

The book of Daniel foretold that in “the time of the end,” many would gain increased knowledge of Bible truth, including accurate understanding of these prophecies.—Daniel 12:4, footnote.

A global preaching work.

Jesus foretold: “This good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth.”—Matthew 24:14.

Widespread apathy and ridicule.

Jesus foretold that people in general would ignore the overwhelming evidence of the approaching end. (Matthew 24:37-39) More than that, 2 Peter 3:3, 4 foretold that some would ridicule the evidence, dismissing it completely.

All prophecies fulfilled.

Jesus said that the last days would be marked by the simultaneous fulfillment of all these prophecies, not just a few or even most of them.—Matthew 24:33.

Are we living in “the last days”?

Yes. World conditions as well as Bible chronology indicate that the last days began in 1914, the year World War I began.

Many people are distressed by these critical times. They are concerned that society itself is deteriorating. Some even fear for the future of humanity.

Meanwhile, others who are likewise distressed by world conditions have a hopeful outlook. They are convinced that God’s Kingdom will soon take action to rid the world of its problems. (Daniel 2:44; Revelation 21:3, 4) They wait patiently for God to fulfill his promises, and they find comfort in the words of Jesus: “The one who has endured to the end will be saved.”—Matthew 24:13; Micah 7:7.

We have less wars than any time in recorded history.
Fimines have also diminished
The nations of the world are in more harmony than ever before

The strange way in which people are behaving nowadays has clearly shown that we are indeed in the end times coupled with people claim to serve God, attend church programs but not in a genuine way at all. This is world is coming to an end gradually, let's all try and live a holy life that is pleasing unto God and by accepting Jesus Christ the son of God into our lives.

The signs of the end times are now before us and should encourage US to believe in God and seek him.

1) Daniel 12:4 ESV / 5,790 helpful votes Helpful Not Helpful
But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

we see that Knowledge has reached a certain level where man can say he can do it all and can fool himself to think he is a God.

Artificial intelligence has advanced that it could replace many human specialization, humans can now create clones of human, can modify the weather, and they can go to other planets and establish new colonies.

2) Matthew 24:7 ESV / 5,760 helpful votes Helpful Not Helpful
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

We see how human are losing self restraints in 2023 and they talk about using nuclear weapons like its just another ordinary day, its happening: ---- nations against nations. Its as if something is controlling or influencing humans to behave very badly, that is the spirit of pride, of antichrist, for that day would not come, unless there is a falling away and then that man of sin is revealed who works according to lawlessness.
I think the Man of lawlessness is alive today, but he will be revealed after the restrainer is taken out of the way.


3) Luke 21:11 ESV / 4,282 helpful votes Helpful Not Helpful
There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

We saw the earthquake in Turkey, and in many places.



4) 2 Peter 3:3-4 ESV / 4,059 helpful votes
Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.”

Unbelief has become more common and blatant. Due to unbelief they bring condemnation. Its very common to hear people say, when is Jesus coming, but they have been saying it since 2000 years ago. Yet God sees one day as a 1000 years.


5) Matthew 24:12 ESV / 3,592 helpful votes Helpful Not Helpful
And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.

People are growing more cold, and becoming more distant, due to crimes, and increasing awareness of the evils of man. They are also forgetting God's love. They have become very selfish and disconnected from how their actions affects others, its all about me me me, and some belief they know it all and that they are like a God.

6) 2 Timothy 3:1-4 ESV / 3,199 helpful votes Helpful Not Helpful
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,


7) One of the greatest signs of the end-Time is the existence of Israel as a Nation.
After Jesus died around 30AD, the romans came around 70AD, and destroyed the temple, The judgment of God fell on the nation of Israel and the land remained desolate for about 1878. Although there are uncertainty about the year of Jesus death, two thousand year from Jesus death will fall on the year 2030. Therefore there are a lot of prophetic significance for the year 2030.
The Nation of Israel itself is an indication that God salvation for his covenant Nation is very close.

8. Banks are crashing on purpose or its planned that the current banking model should crash, to usher in cashless societies. When the Antichrists' comes to power he would need the new world order. No one would be able to buy and sell without his mark at a certain time during the 42 months of his reign.

Rubbish. There are no last days. All happening now - natural disasters etc have all happened in the past usually with worse effects. For example are you aware the bubonic plague wiped out more than 50% of the known population of the world during the middle ages due to poor medical care and hygiene. how many people died fro m Coviid worldwide. Even the death toll from earthquakes etc is less today due to better emergency response and medicare. keep believing fairy tales. Peace

Jesus himself gave the signs
And the OP listed them
Yes, there have always been wars, famine, diseases, etc
Jesus gave a concrete sign to describe world conditions and people's attitude which are to happen at the same time. It's clear we're in the last days. Everyone now is fearful and the earth is being ruined

Rubbish

Even Jesus didn't refer to the day he was crucified as end times day

Mt 24:2

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age
and to you didn't bother to read the whole of that chapter 24 to see how Jesus answered his disciples who asked him the question?

To summerize everything about that Matthew 24, read verse 32

Matthew 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Matthew 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things(the disciples who asked him the question actually saw those things happening), know that it is near, even at the doors.
Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.


The emboldened tells you that all what he told them have already been fulfilled in that generation of the disciples who asked him the question.

To buttress my point

Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Immediately after Christ was crucified there was darkness and earthquake, so what are we talking?

Tboymessiah:

How do you know there's last day, no be sey u read am ni......the only reason I will believe you is only if it was Ur father that told u there's last day because his father also told him......just like that from generation to generation. But, if na for book u read am, a book that was brought to ur land by someone else, and a foreigner told u all these last days stuff, bro forget it u have lost it.

I am not asking or begging you to believe it. I believe it most especially when i was watching out to see them

Eg The Book Said "Isreal will return to its land and never be moved" in 1947 it happened. It also Said Isreal will be one Nation no more 2. And it is so.

It also said there would be a revival and love for God, 1995 or so to 2010 proves it.

And now it said there would be hardness of buying and selling, and it is done.

So, if you like don't believe, it is your own life and death, no one is compelling you to butt for me I believe it and most especially as I have seen them.

So you can wrap yourself with the wrapper of denial until it is too late, which of course is what you wanted after all you don't care about God, so don't bother about your desth either and leave all these end time things.

[/color] The end time is real. Matthew 24 and 2Timothy 3:1-9 has said it. The scriptures cannot be broken.

paxonel:
[color=#000099]There is nothing like last day or end time talkless of any sign!

The signs of his coming and last day mentioned in Matthew 24 literally refers to the time of Jesus crucifixion and resurrection that corresponds to the that time the Jews were expecting the Messiah to come, which has already happened

But when you talk about the last day or second coming of Christ this era(Act1:11), it refers to the day you die.
that is your last day or ended time. After that, life continues forever, no end

Everyone have their own different last day or ended time or second coming of Christ, but the earth remains forever

Ecclesiastes 1:4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Meaning, the kingdom of God is already here with us on this earth, so you shouldn't expect any end time anymore.
Therefore, you have to live your life in peace, void of any fear of the unknown

and to you didn't bother to read the whole of that chapter 24 to see how Jesus answered his disciples who asked him the question?

To summerize everything about that Matthew 24, read verse 32

Matthew 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Matthew 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things(the disciples who asked him the question actually saw those things happening), know that it is near, even at the doors.
Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.


The emboldened tells you that all what he told them have already been fulfilled in that generation of the disciples who asked him the question.

To buttress my point

Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Immediately after Christ was crucified there was darkness and earthquake, so what are we talking?
Did His disciples "see all these things" in their generation? Certainly not. They were not in a generation that had the ability to destroy all of mankind.

Jesus said of the final, end-time generation, "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved" (Matthew 24:22). Clearly the weapons of that day were not sufficient to bring this prophecy to pass.

Although Christ's disciples did see wars, famines, plagues and persecutions, and some even lived to see the destruction of Jerusalem several decades later, these were not the total fulfillment of Jesus Christ's words. They were not the prophesied global events that would directly lead to Jesus Christ's return
