Were called to look for signs…and now we have disease spreading worldwide, and I just saw n article that locusts are destroying crops in Africa. Coincidence? Also Italy, where Rome is is being hit extremely hard. It just seems like Gods saying enough. Not to mention, it’s lent.

Yes. We are all in “the end times” when it comes to our salvation. Your world will end anytime between now and about 70 or so years from now. Act accordingly.
 
I don’t think it’s the end of the world, or even that the world will end soon. I’m sure it looked like the end of the world during WW1 and WW2, The Great Depression, and when all the plagues were taking over in past times. I’m also pretty sure it looked like the end in all the times that Christians were being brutally killed by anti-Christian governments.

We are always getting closer to the end of the world, but I don’t think that’s something to look forward to. If things look bad, we should pray for God’s mercy on us and the entire world, and intercede that there will be times of peace and righteousness. He is able and willing as long as we pray, but I think some people want to see end times signs and want the world to end because it proves biblical prophecy and can be rubbed in the face of unbelievers. We will undoubtedly see signs of the end in every generation and I think we have. Things, in some ways, are worse than they’ve ever been (the ever increasing amounts of godlessness in society), but, no, I don’t believe this is the end.

… Let’s live like it though 😉 We might make wiser choices and live better.
 
I’m Catholic, so I do not take the either/or approach. Yes, we are in the end times, but not because of a pandemic or an epidemic, but because we’ve been in the end times for 2,000 years. God’s time is not our time.
 
Or the Black Death, which makes Covid look like seasonal allergies.
 
The end times started with the death of the last Apostle. We have been in the final era (ie times) ok f history since, waiting for Christ’s return.
 
Many of us are still praying and laboring toward this: (may) Thy Kingdom come and Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Please join us.

It was also written: This gospel shall go out as a witness to all nations. Then the end will come.

There is still much more to happen.
 
Yesterday at mass, the deacon did the homily and all he concentrated on was the Good News in the gospel. We are obsessing with all the bad and negative news right now, and I can understand that, but look to the Gospel for the Good News in all this… it’s there and God will never abandon us.

Doesn’t matter if we are… if this is the beginning of the end, we are good.

We know the TRUTH, POWER AND MERCY OF OUR LORD.

So be not afraid, always remember God will NEVER leave or forsake you. God knows you, cause you know Him. So even if this is the end times, we have nothing to worry about. God’s got this, and we have Him.

Maybe we need to start reminding ourselves of God’s promises to us… of God’s mercy… and of how God will never leave or forsake us.

Knowing God’s will be done, is something we should all be praying for because we know His will will be done and it will be the best for His children because He loves us.

Seriously?
Survey history and you will see multiple repetitions of different people saying that it is the “end times” because of x, y, or z tragedies happening in the world. The entire religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses is based on prepping for Armageddon.

Not entirely certain, but maybe Jim Jones and his cool aid drinking victims were hung up on end-times stuff.

If one is truly worried about the end-times, probably a good idea to be ready is all I can say.
 
Indeed they are - I had my front door half open a few months back whilst getting groceries from my car. I was in the kitchen when they came up, so I was startled by the guy being right at the door nearly enough to reach for my pistol. Thankfully for everyone involved, I’m really good at snap judgments for such things, and he was obviously not trying to force entry or do evil…

After I got to the door, he intro’d me to his wife who was standing bout 6 ft behind him, and started the pitch. I pointed over my shoulder at the no soliciting sign on the front door, he said they weren’t selling anything, I said “You actually are but I’m not buying, please get off my property.” I was obviously not in a witnessing back to them mood. I don’t play well with others who come to my front door…I personally don’t go to the front door of anyone to whom I’m not related, or without an invitation. It’s not tactically sound, especially in states with the Castle Doctrine.
 
At least they weren’t wearing surgical masks. Can you imagine…JW walking up the driveway with masks on. Double no thanks.

We are not called to look for signs. Christ says the exact opposite in his monologue on the end times. Christ says that not even he knows the day or the hour that he will return. Rather than watching for signs, we are to be steadfastly about our work to proclaim the gospel as good and faithful servants. That is the entire point of the parable of the talents, parable of the bridesmaids, and parable of the goats and sheep. So, do that…

Only God knows when the world will end. Yes, there are some signs. God warned us that we would turn away from him before the end of the world and, nowadays, there are people committing more sins than ever. The world is getting increasingly secular and evil. I read online recently that several biblical plagues have hit in different places all over the world, but I don’t know if that’s true or not. I can’t believe everything I read on the internet.
