When the ac bans soccer, it's nigh. Seriously.we are in the last days as was the early church
 
Yes.

The "megas" tribulation can mean not only severe but also large...or long.

So yes...we are there.
 
Heb 1:1 ¶ God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 - Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Heb 1:3 - Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Heb 1:4 - Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.​

Last days have been around for at least 2000yrs. It is important to define what is meant by 'last days'. They are not necessarily your last days.

The rain falls upon the just as well as the unjust. And into each life rain must fall.

If we use Israel as a guide as to how much God is willing to put up with then we need to look no further than King Manasseh.
We are so used to voting that it never occurrs to us that a King was established by similar means. Each city's leadership would promote their choice for King. But when that nation promoted a guy who was hostile to God the game was over for all of them as a nation. (Corporate guilt)

God did forgive Manasseh... But not the Nation as a whole.
Especially this "nation of priests" .

Last days?
Final eschaton?
End of US as a nation?

It's up to all of us collectively.

Yes, I agree. No one knows when will God come, maybe tomorrow, maybe 100 years after, maybe he already came. We should prepared for it.

It kinda depends on the definitions you apply. Given different frames of reference one could accept that all three of your options are true.

That should be Blake's question. :)

The heart of many seem to have grown cold. People are lovers of themselves, and have run away following myths and fantasies to satisfy their itching ears. Seems like countries all around the world are bankrupting or ready to go to war. Islam is infiltrating every country. Men are effeminate, homosexuality and gender dysphoria are celebrated. The enemy has completely hijacked the media, sports, entertainment and music industries, and as we become fat on bread and circus, our spirituality dwindles down into nothingness. The god of this age is a trinity of comfort, entertainment and idleness. Men are full of knowledge but lack wisdom, and it's hard to see repentance, rather, the weak justify the actions of the weak. In the churches, people have made an idol out of ministry and have forgotten the God of the ministry, they are not hungry for God's righteousness, they are hungry for a platform. The majority of the mega preachers in the social spotlight preach pretty self-help seminars with a pleasant veneer of Christianity, but it is worldly. These things make me believe that the end is near.

All isn't lost. There will be a massive outpouring of the Spirit of God before the end comes and many will come running to Jesus Christ. God still preserves His remnant who will not bow a knee to Baal, and He will quicken His remnant and sharpen the swords in their mouths to proclaim the Gospel with the very fragrance of Heaven on their breaths. Now is the time to step out and make disciples, to be a fisher of men, God doesn't require perfection of you, He requires belief and willingness. God loves to use broken people for His glory. From pope to protestant to preacher to prostitute we are all sinners and underneath the cross is a level playing ground, let God use you as a vessel in these latter days.

Well spoken Blake.

I have long considered these matters. Poured over the scriptures, to understand.

The "great dragon" is fed by God's Own Words, to both grow and resist God, until his end.

How is this so? Many ways, here for example:

Romans 7:
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

We should all know well enough by now that "sin is of the devil." 1 John 3:8. But Paul shows us "how" that works. The LAW empowers Satan. Mark 4:15 shows how Satan is moved into 'ADVERSE RESISTANCE' automatically, by the sowing of God's Words. Paul shows this identical principle in Romans 7 above, and here for example:

1 Corinthians 15:56
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

And this, precisely to FEED THE GREAT DRAGON for the finality of Divine Judgments.
