At first I was going to post this in another thread regarding the end times but decided to start a new thread in case some of you wanted to comment specifically.

Well, this post is old enough that perhaps no one will see my response, but here is my take anyway. We have been in the end times since Jesus ascended to heaven (e.g. Hebrews 1:2), and we will be in the end times until he he returns. This obsession that American Christians have with trying to match newspaper headlines with Scripture is highly suspect, and has led to ridiculous things, like predicting the date of the rapture, which only brings shame to the church. We are to watch for Christ's coming, but it won't be in the newspaper.

Nobody is predicting anything except for the "wingnuts", but why would the bible give us clear indicators concerning the end times before Jesus return?
When in history has a "global governing order" been conceivable?
No one knows the day nor the hour, but the scriptures are very clear on the general time line, very clear. They did not know what day that Noah's boat would float but they sure took the hint when it started to rain non stop.
