In Matthew 24, the Lord told us of times of wars, and rumors of wars. Nation rising against nation, and general unrest and troublous times.

Today we have conflict, and unrest in the Middle East. A growing Islamic problem Worldwide. A Godless Europe, who traded Christianity for the World years ago. Now we have the same issues here, in the USA. Legalization of harmful drugs, both prescription and illegal.
A growing Atheist and homosexual society. And a general hatred for Christians, and the Church. Not only that, but a Church that has become Wordily. One that no longer preaches a Gospel of repentance, but a feel good Gospel of pragmatism.

In Second Timothy 3, Paul wrote of these times coming in the last days. All of the signs Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24, are here. Jesus said in Luke 21:28 - And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

The Night is far spent, and the day is dawning. It is high time for us to get our house in order, and not be caught in the darkness that surrounds us. We know not the day or the hour, but we can know when the time is approaching.

It is; and we need to be praying that the harvest is complete, and those who do not know the Lord may come to the light, and the Salvation that comes from Acknowledging and trusting Jesus, as your Lord and Savior. He suffered and died on the cross, that we might become dead to sin, but alive to God through him. Don’t let his sacrifice for you!, go unaccepted.

Romans 10:6-11 (KJV)

6: But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

7: Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

8: But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10: For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11: For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

People have been predicting 'the end' for a very long time, and with just as much evidence as you provide.

Why would you worry Steve? You are a good Christian. You will likely go straight to God when the rapture happens in six months.

The NIV says it thus;

Romans 10:6-13 (NIV2011)
6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down)
7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim:
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
