There is absolutely no doubt that we are living in the end times, the Last Days of a system of things.
Just before Jesus was killed his disciples came to him and ahowed Jesus the great buildings and the temple. Jesus told them that not a stone would remain upon a stone and not be torn down. Jesus' disciples asked him when these things would be, and also the SIGN of his presence and the conclusion of the system of things, Matt 24:1-3.
Jesus went on to outline a great many signs that would help his disciples to know that Jesus had come into his Kingdom power, ruling in the midst of his enemies until God put all under his feet. Jesus mentioned may things to look for throughout the chapter Matt 24. Sll these things were the same things tha would be going on throughout history, so in order to tell the time these things must be on an unprecedented scale.
