 I think our time on earth is short and things are coming to an end just as predicted in the Bible. 

When I used to read end times prophecy, especially Revelation, I hatted it because it didn't make sense to me.  I didn't see how it could be and my brain would shut down.  Now I read these same passages and I see how technologies and events today are setting up everything predicted ~2,000 years ago(and even longer in Daniel & Ezekiel & others).  We have every technology (ready or almost ready) to implement everything predicted in Revelation.  I think the rapture and the beginning of the tribulation are almost here.  I can't say days, months, years, or even a couple of decades for sure, but my head and my heart say it is coming soon.  

We can't know exactly when these events will happen, but Jesus did call us to be aware to the signs of the times and the signs are screaming, "Jesus is coming soon."
