Nearly every generation has had people who believed they were living near the end of the age. All who have prior to now were wrong. Yet Jesus Christ did not tell His followers to ignore world events. He commanded them to watch (e.g. Mark 13:37).
Today we see wars and rumors of wars, increasing international tensions, economic instability, moral decline, and technological changes that would have been unimaginable only a few decades ago.
The question is not whether the end will come. The Bible is clear that it will.
But which end? Our personal end, the fulfillment of Matthew 24:14, the appointed time of the end, the end of the age, the end of the USA and its British-descended allies, the end of the 3 1/2 years/forty-two months, the end of the millennium, the end of the 100 year period, the burning of the surface of the earth, the end of death and pain? How do any of these possibly tie to the deal between the Kings of the North & South, Great Tribulation, the 1260/1290/1335 days of Daniel, persecution, 6000/7000 year plan, the reign of the European Beast, the Day of the Lord, the first/second/third resurrections, the return of Jesus, the start of the millennial kingdom of God, the second death, New Jerusalem, the beginning of eternity? Can Jesus return before 2033? Did you know that three different Greek words are translated as "end" in Matthew 24? Are Philadelphians subject to persecutions before the surviving Philadelphians flee to a place of safety? Is what is called the 'rapture' to happen after the Great Tribulation and Day of the Lord? Why does the Hebrew support that the end, pointing to the Great Tribulation points to Daniel 11:39 and not 11:40 and various Church of God groups teach and believe? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and discusses many "ends" that the Bible prophesies about.
