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.

Ogbeni, wait make I open ur eyes.....

What is Ur business with Israel, is ur forefathers from Israel, can u please tell me the connection u have with Israelites, am waiting...

U guys keep claiming Israelite and u can go there with free visa...

Am sure u don't know any history of ur Accestor's, but all is in ur head is Jew Accestor's history.....

No wounder u will believe Adam and Eve is ur mother and father and u are black, and the so call ppu u are forcing Urself to be said Satan is black like you

The OP has mentioned composite sign of the end time but still any intelligent follower may ask:

"Can we rely on what Jesus of Nazareth said about the end time?"

Because WARS, REPORTS OF WARS, SHORTAGE OF FOOD, EARTHQUAKES, PANGS OF DISTRESS, HATRED, BETRAYAL, FALSE PROPHETS, INCREASE OF LAWLESSNESS and LOVE TOWARDS NEIGHBOURS GROWING COLD

None of these is new to the inhabitants of this planet so it won't sound real for anyone who is not a lover of the Bible to believe in Jesus.

But one out of all these signs is undeniably and indisputable. Please open your Bible and read Matthew 24:14

"And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come"

Here Jesus is saying that the message he preached and taught will be taken throughout the earth.
But one may ask "Has the churches of Christendom not gone round the earth with their religion?"

Well let's consider what Isaiah and Micah have to say about the endtime:

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

So let's analyse the above prophecy and see how it correlates with what Jesus said about the last days!

God's Holy Spirit will gather faithful people throughout the earth which correlates with what Jesus said in the Bible book of Act 1:8 compare to Isaiah 2:2; Micah 4:1

Millions across the globe will agree to study God's word together so that they can all have the same line of thought like one family! John 17:22 compare to Isaiah 2:3; Micah 4:2

All these people will use God's word to settle their racial disparities among themselves {Isaiah 2:4; Micah 4:3 compare to Matthew 5:43-48; 6:12} they will divert their resources into the production of food and information materials, erased the making, buying, selling and usage of weapons, and vow never to raise weapons against anyone again!

When we see all these happening then there is indisputable evidence that we are living in the last days.

Well from 1919 a group known back then as International Bible Students Association (IBSA) started a preaching and teaching campaign that led millions to the the fulfilment of what is found written in the Bible book of Isaiah 2:2-4 and Micah 4:1-3

So if anyone is still doubting what Jesus taught about the last days let him know that Jesus' real disciples has sufficed throughout the earth today in the name of "Jehovah's Witnesses" well the world hate this group {Matthew 24:9; John 15:19; 17:14} even though they're the perfect description of what Isaiah, Micah and Jesus foretold about the last days as they're zealously preaching and teaching industriously throughout the earth! Act 1:8

This group and what they're doing globally is the indisputable evidence that Jesus' words regarding the endtime is authentic! Act 1:8

phemmyfour:
Did His disciples "see all these things" in their generation? Certainly not.
are you saying that Jesus lied when he told them that his generation(meaning their generation) will not pass till all these things be fulfilled?

They were not in a generation that had the ability to destroy all of mankind.
there is no where in Matthew 24 that was mentioned destruction of all mankind what are you saying? grin
You are going out of the context of that scripture

Jesus said of the final, end-time generation,
lies!
Where did he say that in Matthew 24,?

"And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved" (Matthew 24:22).
you are not getting it!
unless those days were shortened what days was that?
Ofcourse it was the days before Jesus crucifixion and resurrection.

Now get it straight!
Daniel prophesied the coming of the Messiah which the Jews were expecting to come and deliver them from captivity at that time(unknown to the Jews, the Messiah was to be crucified which marks the last day. ie the last of the old covenant and the beginning of a new covenant in Christ).So,last day or end time in that scripture isn't referring to the end of the world in the real sense, though the disciples thought the world was going to end, but it wasn't so.Rather, Jesus was about to be crucified.
In that prophecy Daniel mentioned abomination of desolation which Jesus made reference to in Matthew 24:15
This abomination of desolation prophsied by Daniel was what Jesus described as the great tribulation and according to the book of Daniel the tribulation was suppose to last for a period of 18 months. But when the Messiah finally came to be crucified, it was shortened to 6 or 7 months or there about.

The great tribulation was just a period of suffering of disciples in the wilderness, there after Jesus was crucified and it ended.
Remember they abandoned all they had to follow Jesus into the wilderness without food and water.
Sometimes Jesus will have to perform miracle of five loaves and two fish's to provide food for them. It was a terrible period for them and if the period wasn't shortened, they would have died.


Clearly the weapons of that day were not sufficient to bring this prophecy to pass.
weapon?

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
you are saying things out of the bible.
bible never mentioned any global event!
All the events mentioned in Matthew 24 were just signs of the coming of the Jewish Messiah which happened within that small geographic region of the ancient Jerusalem of bible days and nothing more

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.

When you are bleeding out and dying on the dirty sand and you can no longer lift up your wrapper of self denial, you would see that it is real and that you are going there which is why you are even here making stupid noises. If it was nothing you would not be here making noise. So just go and suck on your thumb as you wait for your turn to be transported to hell.
