I pray you’re right.

Soon is relative in God's time. It's a blink of an eye for Him, for us, it may be hundreds or thousands of years.

For whatever reason, I've always believed Christ would return in my lifetime. Since a young boy I've believed it and I cannot tell you exactly why. My own parent's weren't overly religious, we barely went to church every Sunday.

So are we living in the end times? Of course. Mankind has lived in the end times since Christ's birth, death and resurrection. If we trace back through the Old Testament all the times Christ's birth was foretold, even sooner than that.

If we look at how events of our day are accelerating, how evil has taken such a hold on our country and indeed the world, and how evil is now blatantly called good, and good is blatantly called evil, I'm more convinced than ever we're living in the end times.

Does that mean Christ will return in our lifetime? I don't know. The evil we find all around ourselves today gets a whole lot worse than this before Christ returns, IMO and based on my still limited understanding of our Lord's word.

My own opinion is it's a question of how quickly the acceleration towards it becomes. We're told to be ready every day for good reason.
