End-Time Events

As I visit different congregations. I find that 98 percent of them do not teach the truth when it comes to the end-times. I happen to believe that everyone needs to know the truth when it comes to end-time events so they know what to look for, such as falling away, the tribulation period, and the final judgment. The Bible clearly instructs us to be vigilant. I have covered all the events leading up to the return of Christ. But it also teaches that no one can say for certain that we are living in the "end-times." This is, at best, a debatable proposition. Jesus himself repeatedly said that no one knows or can know the day or hour of his return (Matthew 24:36, Mark 13:32, Acts 1:7). To be sure, we are surrounded by events and developments that could be interpreted as signs of the end. On every corner, we see famines, earthquakes, disasters, troubles, persecutions, wars, and rumors of wars (Mark 13:7-9). But has there ever been a period in the history of the world when this was not the case?
