I don't think it's that so much as how prevalent are these events?
For instance, there was always sin but, how prevalent is it today...as in the days of Noah yet? No? but getting close?
We certainly have more Homosexuals. As in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah? Maybe not but much more than there were just a few years ago.
The way I see it, with the onset of TV, Removing God from the Schools and Internet, things are clearly moving much faster now, and though all these things have taken place in the past they are now snowballing. There will soon come a point when there will not be enough left on earth worth preserving earth for.
It is fast becoming as in the days of Noah and Lot. That in itself is a huge sign as I see it.

I think climate change is going to be a part of the end times. That and all the crazy intense earthquakes and wars and rumors of wars, too. Plus economic problems...the gap between rich and poor has grown and is continuing to grow, so the world is basically run by millionaires and billionaires. Awesome.
God wasn't removed from Schools. God was never in the government of nero et all and yet the early church grew. the church has failed the World at times by large.

Have you ever stopped to consider that it might have been God Himself who removed Himself from your schools?

Signs of his coming?
Stop looking outward at the things of this World.
Look inward and be a witness to the Lord's work in your own transformation. Listen for the still small voice. When you hear it you will sing a new song. Listen for the latter rain.
Deuteronomy 32:1-6
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak;
and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
My doctrine shall drop as the rain,
my speech shall distil as the dew,
as the small rain upon the tender herb,
and as the showers upon the grass:
Because I will publish the name of the Lord:
ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
He is the Rock, his work is perfect:
for all his ways are judgment:
a God of truth and without iniquity,
just and right is he.
They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children:
they are a perverse and crooked generation.
Do ye thus requite the Lord,
O foolish people and unwise?
is not he thy father that hath bought thee?
hath he not made thee, and established thee.

And yet Jesus said those of Sodom and Gomorrah would rise up in judgement over this perverse generation.

I'll try it this way...God used to be allowed as in prayer and teachings but they took that out of the schools. Some kids aren't learning God at home they were learning something of him in school at least so in affect, for some, God was removed from the schools and from the lives of some.
Sorta, is that what happened?
Either way, his teachings and prayer/things of God were removed nonetheless, and I think it has had a huge impact in speeding up the process.
I remember when we had prayer in school. I know of the ruling but my point was. prayer wasn't taken from schools but from the government endorsement. we Christians are sure are funny. so I as a JW then and as teacher would have to be allowed to pray as a teacher, faculity member then too. yet many would object that subject of why it was removed is inpart from forced bible studies by the jews and the Christians and also why in some states it was mandated that the students . If I recall right. pray.
I can pray at the pole, I can lead a student lead group in a meeting that isn't mandatory to pray. what cant be done is that the government sanction only one prayer and force all to listen.if I want to pray in the open on the loudspeaker then so can the muslim.jew, Satanist.

I'm still sticking with basic cause and affect here and I believe what happened made the difference I mentioned, no matter how "to the letter" it went down.

But Jesus tells us of the things to look at and even if those are outward things of the world, why should I stop looking at what he says to look at?
the church wasn't really being a good church then. if you think that was the reason then tell me why something was done that and can be still done isn't? ie the churches then mandated that all kids were to be in a government forced bible study when the aclu, im not a fan of them btw, sued and it was ruled that said religious classes could be done if not mandated. yet the church just walked away. few chuches know that you can ask the schools to accodomate an hour of bible study at your church during the school schedule that if the students want to they can be bused to your church and learn about jesus during schools hours. only one church in palm bay does this.

Sorry Jason, it's probably just me but not sure I understand what your asking?
Remember, All I'm saying here is the change made a difference.
satan threw the first punch that the church. the church ran of the ring. then satan had fun with the world. rather then say ok , use that punch and counter with we will ask for VOLUNTEERs to pray at a set up meeting. we went silent on our OWN that my friend is why it made a difference which is what im saying. we didn't loose prayer in school. it was never the government's job to be a church, raise kids. my point is that the church gave up rather then simply say ok. we were wrong to force you to listen, I don't like liberalism. I shouldn't be made to hear their stuff. prayer to some was like that. so I do understand that. no one was forced to pray. but as a JW then, I didn't like prayer being said over the mics. I hated it. yet I didn't ask others to stop it. while the aclu might have been less then forthcoming with the motives of that removal however, congress must be neutral on this. the schools weren't really looking for others to pray outside the faith. they could have but then there wasn't any to say it. if we were to go to that again then we would have a far worse situation.

666 actually has nothing to do with the technology of today as per microchip, tattoo etc. Let us look at where the number was mentioned in the bible:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
- Revelation 13:17-18
Here is wisdom ..... for it is the number of a man. These are the two points to hold onto in understanding this part of the bible.
Created on the 6th day, 6 is the number of man. 6-6-6 in numberology represents the autobiography of Adam (H.E).
God is All-Knowing, and nothing takes HIM unawares. He knew about the fall of Father Adam (H.E) even before his creation. HE had the masterplan, which cannot be altered. Father Adam (H.E) did not try to alter, but rather fulfilled the will of God (1 Timothy 2:14). But this requires a high level of intelligence to understand, as God is The Omniscient and Omnipotent.
6-6-6 represented the autobiography of father Adam (H.E). The first 6 represented His 1st nature after His creation in the garden of Eden wherein He was in an exalted state, which is in-between immortality and mortality.
when He ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, He acquired a mortal nature, which can gradually fade away and die; this was the second nature, the second 6.
After our Supreme Lord Jesus Christ (H.P) came, died and resurrected, HE resurrected Father Adam (H.E) see. Matthew 27:52, who transfigured after His resurrection to go back to Eden, the nature He acquired in transfiguration is the third 6.
These are the 3 natures ordained by the GOD of creation for mankind (the children of Adam). Anyone that acquires a nature different from any of these, has received the mark of the beast.
An example of someone that has the mark of the beast is a witch or a wizard, there is no salvation for a witch, as it takes more than demon possession to become a witch. Someone becomes a witch when the person, through constant practice of witch doctrines, destroys his/her soul, so as to be able to have an outside body experience, whereby the person's spirit can leave his/her physical body to visit spirit worlds like astral world. There they have interactions with fallen angels, who use them as human agents to foster and implement Lucifer's blueprint in the earth.
These are the human agents of Satan. Verse 17 above exposed why they go that far, usually it is in their quest for money, fame and popularity etc
This is why the same God that admonished us to love our neighbor as ourselves, also told us not to suffer a witch to live. THERE IS NO SALVATION FOR A WITCH AS THE PERSON HAS ACQUIRED A NATURE THAT IS NOT MEANT FOR MANKIND!
The spirit of man is programmed in the soul, and the soul baptized into the physical body; the only time the spirit of man can leave his body is in death, whereby the spirit will still be in the soul, and not exposed to be on its own, until the day of resurrection, where the spirit and soul will have to be back forwarded into the physical body, to quicken it. But a witch/wizard has destroyed his soul that the spirit can leave his physical body without the soul, while he is asleep, not as in dream, but have real conscious experiences, wherein they can even attack another if they wish to. THIS IS TERRIBLE!
Most of the big businesses, entertainers and religious leaders already have this mark of the beast.
