Certainly, the other predictions such as an increase in earthquakes, diseases, violence has happened. Jack Van Impe also pointed out that terrorism would be one of the last signs (as in the days of Noah there was violence throughout the land).
While there are different scenerios of how these events will unfold and just who the antiChrist is, people who actually study prophecy are certain this is the end time. Those who have ears to hear should hear, time is running out.
Jesus said when you see these things happening, look up for your redemption draweth nigh. Those who think these things already happened should pay attention to Israel. They don't think these things have already happened and have declared this the "time of Jacob's trouble". How could they have already happened when it says 3/4ths of the earth's inhabitants will be destroyed. Take time to study with various prophecy teachers and you will see that the evidence is very convincing. God's Word is true.

There has been NO increase in earthquakes WHATSOEVER...in the last 20 years, in the last 10 years, in the last 5 years. And, incidentally, this year there has been a below average number of large (Magnitude 7+) earthquakes so far.
And if there's an increase in disease why do world overall average life expectancies keep going UP?
The world has been pretty darn violent for the last 6,000 years. I fail to see any increase in violence per population at all.
I don't get how (some) Christians just blatantly lie to support their own little religious hobby-horses. I mean, the claims about increases in earthquakes are easily checkable and it's not a matter of debate...anyone claiming earthquakes have increased is an obvious liar....not that the author of the post is...probably just naively accepting whatever apocalyptic end-times nuts are telling her.
