Everyone thinks the world is ending soon because of signs here and there.  These signs have been around since the time of Christ.  People become afraid, however, when they fear the world is coming to an end.  for Christians, it is a time of rejoicing.  Why?  Simply because we have waited 2000 to be with our Lord and truly live in His kingdom.  Nothing can harm us; nothing in this life as He has been victorious over all things, including death.  "Fear not, little flock, for I give you the kingdom."
