A well organized list of the End Times signs would be very well-appreciated. Please list the signs and indicate the verses from the Book of Revelations (if other book, please state).
Also, if there were signs of the End Times not said in the Bible and instead by saints or whoever else please indicate that. Thanks.
 
Go to my signature link.It is St.Faustina’ s Diary of Divine in full online.She has some of those prophecy’s in it.She was told by Jesus that the Divine Mercy devotion would be banned for a while but that His will would be done in the end,He would send a spark out of Poland to institute it throughout the whole Church(the Pope did that).She said the time of Mercy precedes the time of Justice.Put it on your favorites it will take a whil to read through it.God Bless
 
#1: The leafing of the fig tree. Matthew 24:32…

"Learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all these things, know that he is near, at the gates."

In the Bible, fig leaf, figs, fig tree, fig anything refers to “the Old Law,” “the Commandments,” “Judaism,” “the Hebrew/Jewish people.” See Jeremiah 24.

In Mark 11:12-14, 20-21, Jesus curses the fig tree, and it withers, anticipating the withdrawal of divine protection from Judaism and Israel and its consequential destruction and Diaspora.

After World War II and the Nazi annihilation, to the astonishment of the World Israel was re-established.

The fig tree is “in leaf” again.

When Christ says that we should know from this that “Summer is near,” He means that harvest is near.

Beware, beware: The Harvester is near, even at the gates!
 
Here’s another one…

Matthew 24:19 provides, “Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days.”
Typically, this verse is all but ignored, because it appears to be a mere expression of pity for mommies by Christ.

However, if one checks out the term “Woe” or “wo” in a Bible Concordance, one will discover that when Christ applies the word “woe” or “wo” to a particular person or group, He is always threatening them.

Why in Heaven’s name would Christ threaten pregnant women and nursing mothers???

Because something was “lost in translation,” from Aramaic to Biblical Greek to English.

Jesus wasn’t threatening pregnant women and nursing mothers.

Instead, Jesus was threatening pregnant woman and nursing mothers who SHOULD be pregnant and nursing and who WOULD be pregnant and nursing – but for abortion.

In other words, the abortion and partial birth abortion movement, and the tens of millions murdered to keep sex convenient and fun, are a sign that the end is imminent.
 
I question the “end times” cottage industry:

1. At the end of every century, there is a heightened interest in “end times” theology. The Church has seen this before. “End times” entered the national discussion around 1995-6 as the millenium’s end approached. Suddenly, Y2K, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the stock market were all used to predict “end times”. Most “end times” sermons were made by Protestant ministers, particularly Word-in-Faith Ministers and televangelists to make more money for their ministeries. It’s curious that such ministers rarely speak of “end times” in 2005. It was a hot topic in the late '90’s, and now they’ve moved to different brands of snake oil.

2. When French economist Thomas Malthus in 1798 articulated the “Malthusian theory” that the earth could not sustain a growing human population, there was a grave concern among the literate class that the END was NEAR in 1798. In 2005, we’re still around.

3. A heightened interest in Angels accompanied the “end times” discussions in the late '90’s. Since that time, likewise, sales of books about angels have dropped off. 'Not such a hot topic any more.

4. “End times” faith takes quite an ego. Of the 100 generations (20 years apiece) that have lived since the time of Jesus, it will be OURS that will experience the end times–that takes an ego–not the humulity that Jesus expoused. 'Chances are, there will be a 101st generation, a 102nd generation, and so forth. Sure, there will be wars (even, God forbid, perhaps an horrific nuclear bomb), tsunamies, earthquakes, even another Twin Towers (hope not), and hey, the stock market might crash----yes, it might----but a sign of “end times”?? No.

5. “End times” faith has the advantage of not being conclusively disproven. How can you “prove” that we AREN’T living in “end times”? How? Of course, actuarily, there is one ten-billionth of a chance that the world will end tomorrow. I admit that. 'Can’t deny it. But that doesn’t warrant all the fuss over “end times”.

“End times” is just another ploy for Protestant ministeres to make money, then they subtly move on to other things. Folks will look back and wonder whatever happened to all the “claims” that we were living in “end times”.

It’s worth some legitimate study and attention, but the cottage industry of “end times” is just another brand of snake oil 'come to town.
