what he said, plus no man knows the day or hour so why speculate?It has been the last hour from the moment Christ ascended. We are nearer the end now than then.
The Jews didn't expect the end times until the dead were raised en masse. Not merely resuscitated (they know of resuscitations via the stores of Elijah and Elisha), but resurrected to a new, glorified state of being.
The amazing thing about Christ's resurrection is it takes the end of time and slams it smack dab in the middle of human history.
So, we've been living in the end of ages since the resurrection.

I'd definitely go back further than 1914. I was just thinking last night that this country has been involved in a war during just about every generation since it's birth.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.
WARS- Since 1914 more people have been killed in wars than in all the years since Jesus gave the prophech, in the first century.
Famine- we have already had famine such as has never b eenon earth, and the near future bodes bad for even worse famine.
Pestilences- Spanish influenza killed 50 t0 100 million in just a few months. Aides, and many more to come according to C D C.
Earthquakes- Since 1914 we have had at least ten times more major earthquakes that since the first century, down to the 1800s.
The signs are just a conclusive as D N A.
