10. Convergence: While each generation could claim one or two from this list, none but ours could claim all of them. The sad fact is that this list is hardly comprehensive at all. There are so many more things pointing to the soon return of Christ that written space here does not allow for. Daniel was told that the end would come as a flood, and a flood-indeed it is (Daniel 9:26). However, it is not only the convergence of signs that is noteworthy; there is also the convergence of believers all coming to the same conclusions.
At no point in church history, has so many believers from so many spectrums all been so convinced that we are living in the last days. I believe this speaks to the Holy Spirit’s witness to us all who are awake and watching. Granted, most of the mainstream and aberrant churches and movements (Emergent, Hebrew-roots, Social Justice Gospel, Prosperity Gospel, Seeker-Sensitive, etc.) are sound asleep; however, the watchers are not. We may disagree on some of the finer points of eschatology; but we all generally agree that these are what the Bible describes as the last days.
With this in mind, I would like to share the good news of Salvation in Jesus Christ. It’s as simple as ABC:
A is for Admit you’re a sinner
Romans 3:23: For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.
B is for Believe
Romans 10:9-10: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.
C is for Call
Romans 10:13: For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Oh lordy. More "end times" nonsense. You should talk to the JWs; their "end times" was supposed to happen in 1914; then in 1925; then in 1975; then Family Radio announced the end of the "church age" in 1988, and the "end" was certainly going to happen in May, 2008; then again in October 2008.
