Of course it doesn’t. It says war, bad things, earth quakes and then you decide it is happening now completely ignoring these things have always happened and probably always will.

"Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” ~2 Peter 3:3-4

Nothing more to say. Good day.

How do I get the feeling that sentiment has been said for all the scoffers over the past 2000 years as well, but I will give it a pause as well.

See you in this thread after 20 years and we can discuss about the next earthquake.

Indeed, earthquakes have been felt on earth from way back in bible times.

However, things have changed. I went to the earthquake web site, and began searching on small earthquakes, 4 to 6 on the scale. There were SO MANY I had to search month by month for many years, because the website world error out and say "too many."

Here is what I found:

2000 to 2010....117859..249995
1990 to 2000....75841...164993
1980 to 1990....52542...78582
1970 to 1980....29330...34745
1960 to 1970....1756....1756 (no small quakes)
1950 to 1960....1599....1599 (no small quakes)
1940 to 1950....0.......0

Israel returned to their land and Israel the nation started in 1948. I believe that event started the end of the end times.

End of end times ? Very specific. So this end of end times might take another 2000 years, 4000 ? Whatever.

As for your increased earthquake frequency this might help you sleep better at night.

From Wikipedia

“The number of seismic stations has increased from about 350 in 1931 to many thousands today. As a result, many more earthquakes are reported than in the past, but this is because of the vast improvement in instrumentation, rather than an increase in the number of earthquakes.”

Thank God , end times averted.

No, I believe 70 years. We are on borrowed time. I expect Jesus' return tonight!
By the way, Oklahoma, where I live, is probably leading the world in small earthquakes. And most of them are large enough, no one needs new instrumentation.

When 2018 will go and pass like any other years you will say 80 years from 1948....Psalms 90:10 NIV

We are on borrowed time. I expect Jesus' return tonight!
Yet,Jesus himself said that He will come ONLY AFTER ALL THESE THINGS ....
Matthew 24:35
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see ALL these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

I tend to be interested in 2015 to the present. I look for any noticeable changes beginning in 2015. My favorite eschatology guy has a theory that it's the volcanoes which will erupt causing the "darkening" of a third of the day during the fourth trumpet.

"The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.

The idea here is that the smoke from the volcanic eruptions would congregate around the middle third of the earth, around the equator, our planet's breadbasket. So looking at this article from 2016:

Dramatic Increase In Volcanic Eruptions Around the World and Nobody Knows Why

You probably haven’t noticed because nobody seems to be talking about it, but something is going on with the world. Volcanoes are erupting at a faster pace than ever, earthquakes are going crazy and nobody has an explanation for it.
Dramatic Increase In Volcanic Eruptions Around the World and Nobody Knows Why

And this from 2017:

Volcanoes Erupting All Over The World: Is Something Happening To The Earth’s Core?
Kalee Brown March 3, 2017

Volcanoes are erupting practically everywhere: India’s only volcano is active again after 150 years, and four of Iceland’s main volcanos are expected to erupt soon, to name a few. This begs the question: Is something happening to the Earth’s core?​


And this:

Bali’s fiery volcano could end up temporarily cooling the entire planet
But we don’t yet know by how much.
By Umair Irfan Updated Nov 30, 2017, 8:49am EST

On the Indonesian island of Bali, a volcano called Mount Agung is spewing ash 5.5 miles into the sky, causing flight cancellations and trapping thousands of tourists and locals on the island, even as the potential for a bigger eruption looms.​

Authorities reopened Bali’s international airport Thursday after closing it for three days due to fear of ash damage to aircraft engines. The closures stranded close to 60,000 passengers and more than 100,000 people near the volcano were told to evacuate as explosions were heard more than 7 miles away.

Bali’s fiery volcano could end up temporarily cooling the entire planet

Bali volcano poses 'imminent risk of disaster,' says Indonesia


But this one's a bit more spooky. This link has a list of articles starting at Dec, 28, and going back in time. Just scroll down the page and note the headlines. It does look concerning. Eruptions from Dec 28, until Dec.13 on the first page.

Volcanoes -- Sott.net

Then hit the second page of results, from that page:


Townhall
Thu, 07 Dec 2017 06:47 UTC​

The Oraefajokull (err-IVER'-yer-kuhl) volcano, dormant since its last eruption in 1727-1728, has seen a recent increase in seismic activity and geothermal water leakage that has worried scientists. With the snow hole on Iceland's highest peak deepening 18 inches (45 centimeters) each day, authorities have raised the volcano's alert safety code to yellow.

Experts at Iceland's Meteorological Office have detected 160 earthquakes in the region in the past week alone as they step up their monitoring of the volcano. The earthquakes are mostly small but their sheer number is exceptionally high.

"Oraefajokull is one of the most dangerous volcanos in Iceland. It's a volcano for which we need to be very careful," said Sara Barsotti, Coordinator for Volcanic Hazards at the Icelandic Meteorological Office.​

Some of these articles are talking about volcanoes that have been dormant for 150 and 300 years. Does that not sound strange?

Could the fire that falls from the sky at trumpet #1 actually be volcanic lava that falls back down to the earth after it explodes up into the atmosphere? Can this be how a third of the earth is burnt up, and all the green grass?

Is this how the earth is being stored with fire?

Is this how the earth will vomit out it's inhabitants?

"But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

"For the men of the land who have been before you have done all these abominations, and the land has become defiled

"And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

Why does it sound strange? Do you have any credible source that indicates there are more vulcanite eruptions now than in the past ?

What would you consider a "credible" source. What makes any source more "credible" than any other?

It is mostly matter of perspective. Just like earthquakes as mentioned previously haven’t increased in numbers only our equipment has gotten better in detecting them.

Any single article proclaiming an erupted volcano or even burned village or two is worthless in proclaiming eruptions have gotten worse or more frequent without examining data on previous eruptions over significant period of time.

Just like these articles of war and violence. Terrible , scary but actually historically we are living unprecently peaceful times when comparing number of people killed in these endeavors.

War and Peace

So credible source in this instance would be one that had comparable data for historical analysis so we could actually say things have gotten worse which clearly hasn’t been demonstrated yet.

To be fair, there are some sources I try to avoid using because of how unreliable they are. I avoid tabloid news like Express, The Sun, and more recently Daily Mail. I also avoid news sources that have proven unreliable over and over again like Infowars, Natural News, and NeonNettle.

The internet is a magical but treacherous place where anyone could post anything and not be held accountable. You could go on a website like Wikipedia to learn about Nazi Germany and find some info on the benefits of such a ideology even though a Neo-Nazi could have posted that info. We have to be very careful what news we trust because fake news is fueling all this political tension and instability we're seeing today.

When the scriptures speak of these things it also such as civil wars within countries borders -not necessarily country against country., Nation against nation is ethnic group against ethnic group , there are muslims fighting against other muslims , racial division,
i wouldn't think peaceful times are gauged by how many people die but rather how peaceful are people being with each other , we have cyber wars that are wreaking havoc all over the world , more frequent is the person who is attacking civilians at the gas pump to steal their cars - robberies - road rage killings ,people that shoot to kill to for someone who cut them off in traffic , etc etc

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come."

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Quite true, I grant that the ancient Romans probably had less people attacking others on gas pumps then we do.

Road rage was probably lesser problem before cars were invented.

However can you provide any source that people are now more violent than before ?

You don’t really think that people didn’t face violence in ancient times ? Robberies, murders, animal attacks whatever.

Life expectancy was rather short. It has increased a lot...another fact that argues against things going to hell.
