If you read your Bible closely, you'll see that we will not know when the world will end until it is here. If Christ would not reveal the exact time to His apostles, none of us are going to be able to predict it. Not exactly. Jesus said that we will not know the day or time, but we would know that it is near by the signs. The signs are fairly apparent, to me.

The same signs were apparent to Paul in his day. He warned the church of that time not to marry for the end-times were upon them. Every generation believed it lived in the end-times. And yet we are still here. My great, great, grandchildren will believe they live in the end-times too. Fear is control.

Operative phrase: "to me." Millions before you have been dead certain that they had identified all the signs. Perhaps millions after you, one hundred years hence, will feel the exact same way.
If Christ had thought it was essential to know the exact time, He would have told us. He told us the signs to let us know what we might have to endure in order to serve Him - not to play Jeanne Dixon.

And He meant, watch and be ready, not watch in fear!
