Is this the end times?

Not a question new to anybody, by any means. Whether you are in the circles of science, religion, "conspiracy theories" or none at all, you would have heard plenty on the end of the world, in particular those in generation X,Y and Z.

Many signs will point to the time of our destruction, but when this will happen, no one knows. No amount of human technology will be able to predict the exact moment of our demise. Given recent natural disasters and death of animal life, it seems things are well and truly on its final spin.

Birds falling from the sky, fish dying in mass quantities - a map with international occurences can be found here. 

In the religious perspective, Jesus said He would not be coming back until the third temple of Jerusalem is built. We also have to have the antichrist, then finally, the world-wide-war on a scale previously unknown, at the center of the Holy Land - Israel. The largest natural gas reserve was also discovered. Where? Israel! Read about it here.

Recent devestation has taken over the Eastern board of Australia with the mass flooding in Queensland, Northern NSW, Victoria and Tasmania, while in Western Australia, they are experiencing a dry summer with the occurence of bush-fires. The State of Queensland has been devestated so much that 75% of that state has been declared a "natural disaster zone" and this state takes up the whole north-eastern-corner of Australia, much bigger than the USA State of Texas!

There has also been many warnings in the first half of the 20th century - visions such as in Fatima, visions experience by St. Faustina Maria Kowalska, the Saint of "Divine Mercy" as well as numerous other Holy See Authenticated and un-authenticated visions, sightings and miracles, mostly dealing with the end times - repentence, trust in Jesus, faith in Mary the Virgin Mother of God and miracles.

Now, more than ever, people should start analysing their lives - their personal spiritual convictions - because who knows when the world will end? Tomorrow? Next week? Next century? No one knows, but He, the Divine Architect of the Universe.

St. Mary of the Cross Mackillop, pray for us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us.
Jesus' Heart of Divine Mercy, have mercy on us.
