End Time Prophecies

I think many of us think we are near the end times. Did Ray speak about what to expect in the end times and the time span? Must admit I pray for Christ return but there are many times think it would be much easier to die before having to experience the end times.

Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Hab 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Has - "this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world" - happened yet? Opinions?

I used to think that I would like to be alive when our Lord returns, in order to see that event with my own eyes.
But the way things are progressing, the end may be something that no one should desire to see.
As an older and perhaps wiser fellow I have changed my thinking and am contented to let God decide the timing according to His love for me.

We don't know anything for absolute certainty yet. Maybe, Maybe Not.
It seems evident to me that we are in or very close to the end times but I'm always reminded of what someone told me many years ago when I was in the WWCG and they had that "1975 in prophecy" pamphlet saying the end was going to occur in 1975. She was in her 40's when she said: "everyone thinks they are living in the end times." She had just gone thru WWII and they were certain the end was at hand back then.
But part of my motive for starting this topic was to see what everyone else is thinking.
And I know it's been hard for some not to go political. So thank you for that.
Hurricane Michael was really bad but Hurricane Camile in 1969 was much worse. And if you are talking about loss of life then The Great Galveston Storm in 1900 was the worst.

dennis,
my feeling is also that we are near to Christ's return for many of the reasons given by the scriptures articulated in this thread. the truth is that, since His ascension, those of us that have been placed in Christ have always been near to Christ's return, as close as our last breath.

bob,
my understanding of the scriptures is that 2/3rds of the earth's population will be destroyed prior to Christ's return. no one who is aware of that fact, including me, wants to experience that, or have their loved ones go through that. that was not my point. this age has to end, and God will meet out His justice, and then we move into the next phase of God's declarations, which is Christ's return.
i personally do not believe that those of us that are placed will experience the events, but our loved ones will, and that is painful to me.
hope this clarifies a bit.

Dennis,
I remember reading this pamphlet when I was about 14; actually it was more like a small book if I remember correctly. It was illustrated very dismally. Scary stuff for a youngster. It affected me for quite some time. And man-o-man, was I glad to see that year come and go :o.

That has to be one of the toughest questions I've ever seen on this board. There certainly is no doubt that the so-called "gospel" of mainstream Christianity has been preached. (Speaking of the WWCG, Herbert Armstrong claimed it had been preached...think 1975).
As far as the REAL gospel is concerned, it seems as though it is 'available' because of the internet, but I personally am at an impasse as to whether or not it has truly been preached in all the world.

Php 1:17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
Php 1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
I'm not sure either. This may or may not help?
