I believe we are in the end times. it was red tide, now it seems jelly fish have started breeding in record numbers, they have devistated the Japanese fishing industry, the crown of thorn star fish have done the same, and are eating just about every reef in the world. glaciers are rapidly going away. animal extinction at levels not seen sense the dinosaurs went missing. population is at it's peak. Everybody who's anybody wants to get their own bomb. iran nearly there, and promising to use it on israel. need i go on? i will. Muslims now out number Christians. Western civilization is at a turning point, which will certainly not leave it in tact. if we continue to consume oil at the rate we are, if we continue to fertilize our crops, and use the amount of poisonous pesticides we require to grow our crops. we will change the world dramatically. if we stop now we starve. we will not stop, China has joined us, and is a growing economy, who will require more of these things in the future. perhaps even surpassing us in consumption. so we're not really setting up to slow down. we are a runaway train, and like all runaway trains we are going to crash. according to the market analists it will happen sooner than later. They say the housing market can't go any higher, but guess what the population just went up again.

WASHINGTON — Iranian technology is on pace to build a long-range missile that could strike the United States within a decade, a high-level Pentagon official told FOX News.

Interesting. In other news, the US has enough short range missiles off of Irans coast and across the border in Iraq, that they are not a threat to the continental US in any conventional sense nor will be anytime soon.

This is (your link) why I believe we are living in the time of the end, and that things are getting worse and worse and peoples hearts are getting harder and harder.

I agree it is a sign.

Matthew 24 : 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,[a]' and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. 22If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. 25See, I have told you ahead of time.

The end times began at the Ascension.

Are you familiar with the difference of the endtimes and the beginning of the birthpains??

Matthew 24 : 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.

I agree with Metheliel.

Look at when the first four seals of Rev 6 were opened and compare to Matt 24/Rev 5.

Jesus opened the first four of those seals (wars, famines, plagues, pestilences, persecution) upon His ascension. They have been happening in increasing frequency and intensity (like birth pains) since then.

Rev 5:6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits[fn1] of God sent out into all the earth.
Rev 5:7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.



Rev 6:1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!”



He will open the last 3 seals together in the near future.
