I watched the video. I don't know about 2014. A lot of people are expecting something soon: global economic collapse, natural disaster in a major city, etc. Now all this racial tension in America over one case that had nothing to do with race. I think a lot of people have had enough with the "status" today: widespread war, unemployment, unprecedented weather patterns. They want something drastic, because they want change (hence Obama's entire campaign theme: hope and change).
What I do know is that this atmosphere is necessary for the false prophet. So many people are preaching "doom is near" that we will probably bring it on ourselves. When the false prophet does arrive, performing signs and wonders (preaching a new great kingdom), most people will bow down, and faith in Jesus Christ will be abandoned by many.
It always makes me think twice. When we're in the midst of extreme suffering and praying for Jesus Christ to return, that will also be the best time for the false prophet to make his entrance and deceive as many as possible (even the elect, if it's possible). It's important to remember: when Jesus Christ does return, He will be seen very obviously by all nations, coming on the clouds of heaven, and we will know.
