Because the end hasn't come yet?
Now I think we still have a hundred years or two --- but those Left Behind books sure were fun!
From what I've read, every existing generation believes THEY are in end times.
I first thought you were referring to Global Warming>

"Yes, perhaps. But, to be sure, not everyone agrees that salvation, when it comes, will appear clothed in a shiny silver spacesuit."
How about a baby in a manger? Works for me.
Everyone is going to die. The end-of-the-worlders just wish that everyone would die when they do. They can't stand the thought that life goes on.
Cause there hasn't been a good scary King book in years.

What an interesting article.
The answer is clear; For everyone alive at this time, on this earth the END TIMES will occur between this moment and 100 years from this moment.
No-one living at this moment will be here in one hundred years.
I will take donations or bets of $100
The Universe you perceive is but part of a Macro Universe-just as the Micro Universe is part of yours. All that you see through telescopes,or perceive with Einsteinian equations,is but a tiny bubble of flatulence in the intestinal tract of a dragon in the Macro Universe: called by some The Great Serpent;by others The Midgaard Serpent;by yet others The Wing-ed Serpent;by Asiatics The Dragon.
In the fullness of time,all that you can see and can imagine will exit noisomely from the Macro Beast:collapsing your myriad worlds upon themselves-yet,the contents shall live on:
dissipating,coalescing,swirling,rising,falling,expanding,contracting for evermore.
Thus spake Lord Ignatz.
Could Christians here please tell me.... how could any rational Christian believe that carrying a chip with your medical records requires you to serve the Devil??? Isn't Christianity a religion of faith alone....
Read "The Parousia" by J. Stuart Russell. Makes a lot of sense. Available at Amazon.
He missed some "end of time" beliefs: Malthus, the "heat death" and "evolution".
The only prophetic schedule is the one in God's mind, and it is known only by him. No man knows when Jesus will return to earth, and anyone who says he knows is either deceived or is a charlaton and a liar.
What we do know is that there is a definite point in time, set before the world was created, when Jesus Christ will bodily, visibly return to planet earth, and that no one but he and his Father know when that day will come.
Personally, I tend to believe in a pre-tribulation rapture of the church, and a pre-millenial return to earth of Jesus Christ as Israel's Messiah and King. But millions of other devout and learned Christians believe otherwise, and I have no desire to argue those points with them. When all the prophesied end time events have come to pass, we will all know the truth and all Christians of all persuasions will agree that everything happened exactly as God had planned it before time began.
