I truly don’t believe that we are supposed to know when the end of time is coming. If we were supposed to know, there wouldn’t be so many bad guesses or we would already be long gone and dead. I feel it is just something that people might do for fun and then it gets blown out of proportion. Who really believed that we were all going to end in 2012? I hope no one did and it was more of a fun thing. Or else it is just someone who gets their kicks out of seeing how many people will freak out over nothing. The end times will come when they are supposed to and there is really nothing that we can do about that, so why worry. Be a good person, whether or not you believe in religion, help others, have a good life and even some fun, and love your family, and at least you have had a good life by the time the rapture decides to show up. Better to have a lot of fun and a great life you can be proud of than to look back at your life whenever the rapture occurs and wish things had been different. Of course, the rapture will probably not come during out lifetime, but who knows?
The day and time will not be known, but it says nothing about the year or season. We are to
watch for the signs.
Matthew 25:13
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comethGod wants us to know when the time is close, we will not be kept in the dark.
1 Thessalonians 5:5
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.And there may not be a rapture,

In the bible, people talked to God, they knew Him, there were no doubts. People these days claim the bible was just stories, and not real, and others ask if God is real why doesn't He show himself?
He's very clear in the bible that He doesn't like idolatry and is a jealous God.
Deuteronomy 32:19
"The LORD saw this, and spurned them Because of the provocation of His sons and daughters. 20"Then He said, 'I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Sons in whom is no faithfulness. 21They have made Me jealous with what is not God; They have provoked Me to anger with their idols. So I will make them jealous with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nationGod will not show Himself to those who worship things other than Him, unless He has some other reason to.
Some people may ask why when the world is so wicked, does He let evil roam and not come sooner?
He said in Enoch that the fallen angels would be released in 70 generations after the flood.
Have the Fallen Watcher Angels Been Released? You Decide!God has a timetable. He has to stick to His word, and He gave evil reign over us (due to our sin).
However, He does not want us to be hurting, He does not want us to miss out of being saved. He holds hope that people will come to Jesus Christ and turn their back on their sins.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.Also, why is the world so anti-Christian in particular? Why are Christians being persecuted? They are to love everyone, and tolerate everyone, and kill no one, and harm no one, and treat each person as they wish to be treated, and to turn the other cheek. So why should people hate them so?
Truly, if you want to know why they are hated, it is because the world is sinful, and run by fallen angels and they want no one to trust in Jesus, so they can have reign in this world and have power over us.
If the Empire State Building had a giant picture of Jesus with scripture to love everyone as yourself, you would have heard an uproar. Instead, the goddess of destruction that will bring judgement to this land was shown and called "breathtaking!"
If demons stop in the name of Jesus, and "aliens abductions" stop in the name of Jesus, and sinful people hate to hear of Jesus, doesn't that make you think, maybe there's a reason for that? If demons believe in Jesus, so should you.
