Rev. Franklin Graham, head of the international Christian aid group Samaritan’s Purse and son of world-renowned preacher Billy Graham, said that given all the “bad news” about the killing of Christians by Muslims in some countries, and attacks on Christians by the media and the government even in America, he cannot “help but wonder if we are in the last hours before our Lord Jesus Christ returns.”

A Dr. on Cavuto/FNC just said it’s coming to America if we don’t start screening people.
Let Rev. Graham know as he is the one who cited ebola as one of the indications of the End Times.
The rainbow is God’s symbol. To use it as the sodomites and their followers do is evil.
Over on DU there is not many they hate as much as Franklin Graham. I was reading a thread last year and the vitriol poured out on probably one of our premier rescue organizations was astounding.
It’s so sad. A man goes out and he is the first to pour massive resources into disaster areas like Haiti, often beating the red cross and going places even they won’t go, defying ISIS in Iraq, and the DU’ers go, yep, that’s the one to hate.
They are so lost.
Also interesting that no nation resembling the United States appears in Revelation.
Our final collapse will be swift and spectacular, and the stage has been set.
Not a pessimist by nature, but after the 2012 elections I though we wouldn't see another presidential election in this country. Still think that. Even more.
Very possible... :-(
Why do equate the last days with fear? True believers (the body of Christ) will be taken from this earth to be with Him before things get really bad.
A sign is not a moral issue, either. Disasters happen, Islamic terrorism is the result of ,and the perpetrators must be destroyed.

Those that rely on Christ are never doomed
and LOOK UP! Maranatha
We will not know the hour but we are commanded to know the season....
Yea, relatively recent since Paul himself was a pre tribber. He counseled his churches to comfort each other with the rapture, and I dont see much comfort going through the tribulation... We can agree to disagree about the timing of the rapture, its not a salvation issue. But I don’t lightly dismiss others thoughts on the subject and admit I could be wrong with my pre trib views. It would be nice if other Christians would offer the same courtesy.
It is. But they can never really take it from Him...they only think they can.
“And it will get better again in just over 2 years.”
Wishful thinking.
It will not get better unless a real miracle happens. And it is arrogance to think that America will just keep rolling forward, working its way through evil and coming out ahead. Why? I don’t see in the Bible where Americans are exempt from destruction - as have many countries/societies/powers throughout history.
I guess from a Christian perspective, I “think” that there are millions in China, Africa, Eastern Europe, etc that have not heard the Good News or are just starting to and will be saved. God wants them to at least get a chance to hear about Jesus so I think we have quite a bit more time before the end time.
And even though our Country shuns God and becomes more hateful to the Christian faith, plenty here too need Jesus and will be saved.
Where does it say that?
Start with the parable of the fig tree. There are others I don’t have time to look up right now but can later.
‘We’, meaning...who?
Here’s what the catechism states, citing, 566 Cf. Rev 22:20.
567 Acts 1:7; Cf. Mk 13:32.
568 Cf. Mt 24:44; 1 Thess 5:2; 2 Thess 2:3-12
The glorious advent of Christ, the hope of Israel
#673 Since the Ascension Christ’s coming in glory has been
imminent,566 even though “it is not for you to know times
or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own
authority.”567. This eschatological coming could be
accomplished at any moment, even if both it and the final
trial that will precede it are “delayed”.568
