More than once, the question has been posed (mostly by those who are worried about the possible answers which they might be given) about the timing of the end times.
Though many TALL TALES have been spun about the ‘last days’ and the ‘end times’ (mostly by ‘esteemed Bible teachers),’ the end times are a fairly straight-forward affair.
The end times is the time between when Jesus Christ FIRST walked the earth and His return.
The question seems to take on timing of the end times.
“I never thought this would happen until I was long gone (dead). Why do the end times have to happen NOW–instead of years from now?”
As was stated, ‘anxiety’ seems to be behind this question: an anxiety caused by what will take place, why it is taking place and is there anything to be done?
The BEST answer to this question never seems to satisfy the one who asked it, but it is true and it DOES answer the question.
“The end times HAVE to happen sometime. It might as well be NOW. After all, it HAS been almost 2000 years since they began.”
DOES the reader ever worry about WHEN the end times will come to a close?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
