That's not why people think the end times is near and I doubt that is true anyways.
People are well enough aware that things can ALAWAYS get worse before Christ returns.
And what we're experiencing now is a walk in the park compared to the horrors of the Tribulation.
“And what we’re experiencing now is a walk in the park compared to the horrors of the Tribulation.”
I agree, but there is always those in every generation that see their time as the worst of times, in terms of the prospect of the Trbulation being “soon”. I think some of it is for some the desire that it be true “now”, for them, and for others they get cauught up in what some preachers are saying, in terms of prophecy an what many prophecies mean.
They shoud all quit being anxious and or fearful. When it is truly that time God will make it undeniable.
