- Is the apocalypse upon us? Some people believe so. People are citing Scripture to back up their belief. Constant fighting between nations (Matthew 24:7) Rise of false prophets and false christs (Matthew 24:24) Possible signs in the stars (Luke 21: 25-26) Widespread increase in earthquakes (Matthew 24:6-7) Decline of moral dignity in society (2 Timothy 3:1-4) Do you think the End Times are upon us?
