"End Times"
Instead of worrying about the coming of the "End Times", worry instead if you are living a life which Christ modeled for us on this Earth while he walked upon it.
Worry more about whether or not our leaders are taking care of the sick, the poor, the people foreign to our land, those whom Christ spoke about in his parables and his teachings.
If our leaders vilify those whom Jesus spoke of helping, which he did throughout his ministry on Earth, then that should tell you that they are not speaking from a Christian viewpoint, but are the mouthpieces of Satan.
Same with "men of God" who do not stress the love of Christ which he showed through all his teachings! Christ spoke of love more than anything, and of showing that love to all his children.
So set out each day to exemplify the teachings of Jesus in how you live your life, in the things you say and do, and with the people you surround yourself with, and set an example for those who do not life a life of Christ.
Continuing to sin and then praying for forgiveness, is the life of a hypocrite.
A Christian makes a covenant with God when they accept Christ into their life.
This covenant means that they will do their best to live as Christ teaches, not that they can continue to live a life where they continue to disobey his teachings and live a sinful life.
Ministers who preach that this cycle of sinning and praying for forgiveness is okay, are not preaching form the Bible, but from their own minds.
Same with those who interpret the Bible to reflect their own beliefs and prejudices, rather than teaching the true message of Christ.
Remember that evil men throughout history have used the Bible to justify the horrors that they inflicted on their fellow man.
The Crusades, the Holocaust, slavery, persecution of any minority group(based on color, creed, sex, any difference, etc.) and many others things which make us sick to think about today, have been presented to the masses as acceptable through someone picking out lone verses or portions of the Bible, many times taken completely out of context, to justify the horrible things that they do.
