Are We Living in Wicked Times?

This is about as good as it has ever been for our species. Unfortunately, war is more common than peace throughout history. Currently, there are more people with basic human rights and freedoms than ever before. With that said, only seven countries on Earth haven't had to change their borders because of warfare or revolution within the last hundred years. Given a few more centuries, maybe we humans will begin to get our act together.

I believe that we are living in the end times.  Jesus will be returning soon, I can feel it deep in my soul.  Many Bible prophecies about the end times already have happened, and more are still coming true today.  Such as "there will be wars, and rumors of wars".  Well, we're in the middle of a war with Iraq right now, and there are rumors of other wars in other countries.  It's happening, and it's happening very fast.  Therefore, yes, I believe that the Antichrist is alive somewhere today.  It would be a scary thought for me, but since I've already accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I know that I won't be here when the real suffering begins.  Once Jesus comes back and all the believers are taken to heaven, everything on earth is going to start getting much, much worse.  I thank God that I won't be here to see it, and pray that the ones I know and love won't be here to see it either.

If we dont pull our fingers out and start doing the right thing surviving will be a definate struggle, I mean it is a struggle already for many people of the World.\nIt seems we are spiralling down the road of destruction but we can make a difference to change that.\nIt starts with us all.

Some people see the worst, and some the best, and some are ready to expect anything!  It's just your nature, but you can change it.  It's all in how you "see" things around you...I'm an optimist, always looking on the bright side, seeing good in even the bad.  Say your internet went down for a few days because of problems in your lines...for me, it's the PERFECT time to get out a good thick book, and read, and get away from the computer for awhile!  There is always a silver lining to every storm cloud, and always a rainbow at the end of a storm.  Just take that negative, and think positive! :)

Our home is headed for ruination. All the reports including one i saw on the news today regarding the fish stocks in the sea needing to be protected from commercial fishing , fossil fuels like gas, oil,  climate change, deforestation.  We will not make it past 2050 without radical change.\n         Revelation 11  v 17.

Yes and the time is growing near....not by our timezone, but near nevertheless.  The 2nd Coming of Jesus will be Judgement Day and He will judge us then and there.  No time to make amends at that time....so it is always good to be ready now as we don't know when He will return.  He will return after this World of ours continues on the destructive course we are on and totally destroys itself.  The Bible and all of the Prophets have predicted exactly what is happening in our world right now.  Starting with immorality, the present Government situation with Bush as our leader, the Middle East, more and more natural disasters (Hurricanes, Tsunamis, deadly mudslides, etc.)  I wish the world would wake up and see what we are doing to ourselves.  I fear for the people who are in charge of the countries and where their destiny lies!

Terrible things are happening everywhere. I just appreciate and cherish every moment  that i can and live the best that I can. I think that the media focuses too much on the terrible things that are happening rather than the good that is going on. There is so much of it going on. \n\nI do not live in Fairy Tale Land I do see the bad things happening. I realize that there is nothing I can do what happens happens, so I just live and appreciate everyday that goes by and I make the best of my life and I treat others kindly. It is all about attitude and acceptance. Things happen as they do and we cannot stop it from happening so we might as well buckle down and go with the flow. We cannot live in fear and we cannot live in sorrow. Life is still good no matter what it all depends on what we make of it.

I think weve been heading to the end times since Jesus was on Earth. Everyone since then thought they were living in the end times, just like some now do, so thats nothing new. i dont think weve been living it this whole time, but rather living in what proceeds it. Hope that makes sense.

There are natural disasters that are happening more frequently now. Today it rained and flooded in like a half hour in this town that I live in. But I know that could happen anytime because it did when I was little. But there are those, famine, and other things as well. I was watching something on television about how the Jews were persecuted in World War I, than accepted, than persecuted in World War II, than accepted and now they are being persecuted again. This was on the Christian network. And maybe I got it backwards but in the end Jews will return to their homeland. But seriously we won't know that the world is at the end until we see God's return. Every ear will hear and every eye shall see. I don't remember where that is located in the bible. But I know its in there somewhere. And not only that but you will hear a loud trumpet and it will sound like a shriek almost.\n\nBut don't worry, because its not something to worry about unless you are not saved!

in general, I get that feeling alot. i live in Michigan. We have been spared many disasters. we have not had a terrorist attack, widespread flood, blizzard, or much of anything. We don't get hurricanes or earthquakes. We are suffering from job loss though. That is substantial. Motor city's engine has blown, the automotive industry continues to take blow after blow. I think the whole country is feeling these effects. on top of our problem, there are MANY more to complicate matters. If that is not enough, tensions between the U.S. and other parts of the world are becoming stronger. They are bound to come to a head before too long. More attacks on US are inevitable. And don't get me started on global warming.

Start with Al Gore's Inconvieniant Truth to get the big picture. Then if you can consider other people elsewhere besides where you live you would know they are being effected right now. The world is warming up and ice is melting everywhere. We should all be very concerned......

The 20th Century was a time of great change.  It was also a time of great turmoil.  World War I, World War II, The holocaust, The invention and use of atomic weapons, The Korean War, The Veitnam Conflict, Civil Rights Riots and Lynchings, The drug culture, The beginning of the Aids epedimic, The wholesale murder of millions of people around the globe in places like South Africa.  The great music and movies of the 20th Century may well have been an artistic attempt to deal with a very unorganized and frightening time in our history.  Many people theorize that great art grows out of turmoil.  I hope and pray that the 21st Century be a time of greater peace.  You are right to say we are not off to a great start.  But even with the tragedy of this war on terror we find ourselves presently in, it does not compare even remotely to the carnage of WW I, or WWII.  I pray it never catches up.  We have an opportunity to build a better world.  Freedom, equality, peace, no more hunger.  Now that would be truly awesome!  It didn't happen in the 20th century.  Will we make it happen in this century?  I hope.

Trying to survive.... it's not easy. Since we as humans still can't get along without screwing everthing up... the road ahead will only get worse before it gets better. We better be glad that GOD is still on our side.

I believe we are in the end times and that the tribulation is near, but I can't agree with you on 2018. We don't know when it will be and date setting is a good way to be wrong.
