There is an increasing awareness among the people of the world, from all different religious backgrounds and faiths, that we might be living in the prophesied end times. If you are in doubt, please have a look at the following end time signs so that you may ascertain that the end times are not just approaching but it is already here, and therefore, looking for the prophesied Savior would be a duty upon every God-conscious sincere truth seeker. The end times; the hour; the last days; doomsday; eschaton; these are all different titles for a time period described in several world religions (both Abrahamic and non-Abrahamic) when the world reaches a final stage in which evil prevails over good, and a World Savior appears.
“There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.”
– The Holy Bible, Book of Luke, Chapter 21, Verse 11
“And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.”
– The Holy Bible, Book of Revelation, Chapter 6, Verse 8
The COVID-19 pandemic, along with the emergence of new diseases like Disease X, align with prophecies of widespread pestilences signaling the end times. As of March 3, 2024, the Kaiser Family Foundation reports over 7 million deaths from COVID-19. The World Health Organization coined the term "Disease X" in 2017 to describe unknown infectious conditions with epidemic or pandemic potential, with COVID-19 being its first example. Additionally, the WHO updates its list of pathogens with pandemic potential, including strains of flu, Ebola, Zika, and avian flu, which have caused significant mortality and pose ongoing threats. These developments underscore the ongoing risks of infectious diseases and their implications for global health security.

“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
– The Holy Bible, Book of Luke, Chapter 21, Verses 25-28
"The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake."

In 2023, natural disasters and harsh weather conditions were prominent features in global news headlines. Seismic tremors, floods, wildfires, droughts, landslides, cyclones, and storms wreaked havoc across the world, resulting in significant loss of life and displacement of tens of thousands of people. One of the most devastating events was a twin earthquake in southern Turkey near the Syrian border, which affected an estimated 14 million people and resulted in over 50,000 deaths in Turkey and thousands more in Syria. Additionally, earthquakes struck Morocco and Afghanistan, claiming thousands of lives. Typhoon Doksuri and Mediterranean Storm Daniel caused widespread flooding in China and Libya, respectively. Flooding also occurred in Mexico, Hong Kong, Western Europe, and the Horn of Africa, exacerbating the effects of a devastating drought. Meanwhile, record droughts led to falling river levels and the drying up of water bodies, including in the Amazon rainforest. Scientists warn that such extreme weather events are likely to become more frequent and severe due to global warming.
“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.”
– The Holy Bible, Book of Matthew, Chapter 24, Verses 6-7
Since around 2012, there has been a notable resurgence in global conflict, following a period of relative decline in the 1990s and early 2000s. The initial spark came from uprisings in the Arab world in 2011, leading to conflicts in countries like Libya, Syria, and Yemen. The instability in Libya spread southward, contributing to a prolonged crisis in the Sahel region. Subsequently, a new wave of significant conflicts emerged, including the 2020 Azerbaijani-Armenian war over Nagorno-Karabakh, intense fighting in Ethiopia's Tigray region, triggered shortly afterward, the conflict stemming from Myanmar's military coup in 2021, and Russia's assault on Ukraine in 2022. In addition, 2023 witnessed further devastation in Sudan and Gaza. These conflicts have resulted in increased casualties, mass displacement, and a heightened need for humanitarian assistance worldwide. Vladimir Putin's warning of the potential for a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO escalating into a full-scale World War III, following his reelection, underscores the gravity of the current geopolitical situation. Similarly, statements by Donald Trump over the past two years expressing concerns about the possibility of World War III further highlight the widespread apprehension regarding escalating global tensions.

“Hear the word of the Lord, you Israelites, because the Lord has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: “There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land dries up, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea are swept away.”
– The Holy Bible, Book of Hosea, Chapter 4, Verses 1-3
Over the past 50 years, human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, and overexploitation have led to a significant increase in animal extinctions. Thousands of species, including well-known ones like the rhinoceros and tiger, as well as lesser-known ones, have disappeared or are on the brink of extinction. This loss of biodiversity threatens ecosystems and the planet's overall health. Conservation efforts are underway, but urgent action is needed to prevent further extinctions and preserve Earth's biodiversity.
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!"
– The Holy Bible, Book of 2 Timothy, Chapter 3, Verses 1-5

How is it possible for the dead to hear His voice in the end times unless the dead return from the graves in new bodies? With other verses indicating reincarnation, it is clear this must refer to returning in new incarnations.

– The Holy Bible, Book of Revelation, Chapter 14, Verse 1
The 144,000 are none other than the Prophets, Messengers, saints, and righteous ones. They longed for the chance to return in the end times with the Mahdi, with Al-Hussein, and with Jesus, (From Them is Peace). Today, God has answered their prayers. For all of the Prophets, Messengers, Vicegerents, and pure ones are now gathered in this world. The awaited ones from every nation are here.
